'Someday, Hopefully, We Won't Be Needed at All'

The storefront of Covenant House Pennsylvania's first location in Philadelphia over 25 years ago (in black and white).

When Hugh started at Covenant House Pennsylvania, there were two beds in the entire city of Philadelphia for young people experiencing homelessness. Today, there are more than 100 across our programs alone, and Hugh has been there for nearly every one of them.

Watch him tell the story of what it took to get here, the young people who built lives on the other side of that front door, and why he hopes, someday, we won't be needed at all.
