This month, as part of Youth Homelessness ACTION Month, we’re lifting up a new storytelling series.
It’s told across five weeks—five true stories from across our federation—that together capture the arc of what Covenant House really means to our young people. Each week in November, we’ll spotlight one story on our channels, moving through five stages of a young person’s journey:
Intake. Support. Growth. Independence. Community.
It’s a story in five parts. But really, it’s one story—a single thread of courage, care, and transformation that connects every Covenant House.
Youth with lived experience are shaping prevention policies through Covenant House’s research-driven initiatives, ensuring future solutions are youth-centered and effective.
Covenant House has opened a second affordable-for-youth housing location, Olive Tree Commons, where formerly homeless young adults can work toward stability and independence.
According to a new Harvard report, 22.4 million households in the United States now spend more than 30% of their income on rent, with 12.1 million spending more than 50%.
