Until Everyone Has a Home, Sleep Out!

COVENANT HOUSE IS ON A MISSION 

Covenant House is on a mission to end youth homelessness. We are empowering young people across the United States, Latin America, and Canada to overcome homelessness and trafficking by providing them with safe housing, food, clothing, and, above all, relentless support, unconditional love, and absolute respect — 24/7/365.

SLEEP OUT IS PART OF THE SOLUTION

Every year, on the Thursday before Thanksgiving, dedicated supporters and passionate advocates give up their beds for one night to ensure that youth facing homelessness have a bed at Covenant House. Since 2011, thousands of individuals, families, companies, schools, teams, and places of worship have taken on that challenge and raised more than $118 million to care for youth at Covenant House, shining a light on the often-overlooked youth homelessness crisis.

IT’S MORE THAN AN UNCOMFORTABLE NIGHT 

Sleep Out is more than an uncomfortable night. It is an experience that can change the way we see the world. It’s an opportunity to:

  • Hear inspiring stories from people who have overcome homelessness.
  • Learn from experts confronting the crisis.
  • Confront stigmas.
  • Advocate for a future where everyone has a safe place to sleep.


All funds raised go directly to Covenant House, where they are immediately put to work caring for youth. If you’re interested in joining a Sleep Out, check out our site for an event taking place near you
