Our research has revealed strong association between youth homelessness and indicators like early pregnancy and substance abuse.
At the heart of Covenant House’s mission is the commitment to serve and assist all homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth. In order to provide the highest quality services and advocacy for this population, Covenant House must draw upon the most current information available regarding youth well being on national, state, and local levels. Such indicators of well being include levels of poverty, educational attainment, employment, placement in foster care and juvenile justice systems, pregnancy, alcohol and substance use, and mental and physical health. Research conducted over the past decade has revealed strong associations between these indicators and youth homelessness.
