Visit Shelter HomepageWho we are: Covenant House Florida (CHF) provides shelter and services to youth ages 18-21 who are experiencing or at risk of homelessness. We have two locations in Florida: Orlando and Fort Lauderdale, where we serve a total of 2,303 youth annually. CHF in Orlando serves youth in Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties. All our services are free of charge.
Our shelter: CHF’s shelter in Orlando provides safe haven for young people facing homelessness, including young parents and their babies. It is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week. We provide youth with a nourishing meal, clean clothes, and a safe place to sleep, and offer them an array of services to help them either reunite with their families or develop the skills they need to live independently.
Our programs: Young people in the Orlando area can access our short-term emergency care through CHF’s street outreach, community center, and emergency shelter. Youth also may participate in our transitional housing program, Rights of Passage, when they are ready to take this step toward independence.
