Covenant House's research on youth in crisis reveals the most significient issues facing homeless youth.

Youth in Crisis is an ongoing series of reports on the characteristics, needs, and outcomes of homeless youth served by Covenant House. The goal of these reports is to produce reliable, accurate, and up-to-date data which will enhance programming, influence public policy, and educate stakeholders.

This series is produced by the Covenant House Institute in partnership with the Center for Homelessness Prevention Studies (CHPS) at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health. It is partially funded through the CHPS Scholars' Program. We are thankful for the ongoing support of Kevin M. Ryan, Covenant House President and CEO; Bruce J.
