We Help Youth Facing Homelessness in Anchorage, Alaska

At Covenant House Alaska (CHAK), our doors are open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for youth ages 13 to 24 facing homelessness and human trafficking. All our services are free of charge. We offer young people safety, rest, and are here for youth to provide support, guidance, encouragement, and a listening ear.

Our Shelter

CHAK offers young people experiencing or at risk of homelessness a safe place to stay. With our open intake policy, no youth who comes to our door is turned away. We are never too full to welcome them in, nor too busy to talk. We meet immediate needs for food, clothing, and a warm bed and then help each young person build a foundation of safety and trust so they can build their future.

Our Programs

Young people can access short-term emergency care through CHAK’s street outreach program, drop-in services, and emergency shelter. Our Youth Engagement Center offers them access to health care, educational achievement, employment, housing assistance, and enrichment activities. And our transitional and supportive housing programs help young people find and keep a home of their own.
