Covenant House International

Just your daily reminder that it's more expensive to jail people for being homeless than it is to build housing for them.

The solution to homelessness is homes. It's in the name.

Most human traffickers aren’t shadowy criminals . They’re family members, partners, and friends.

Making sure unhoused youth have a safe place to sleep is one of the best ways to fight human trafficking.

Really think about it: what would be different in your life if you were homeless at 18?

Our 2026 to do list:
- Keep doors open 24/7 for unhoused youth
- Reach more youth before they become homeless
- Support youth after they beat homelessness
- Repeat

Face the truth: not everyone has a safe place to go home for Thanksgiving.

Tonight, remember the 35,000 youth in the U.S. who are facing homelessness.

John, thank you so much for showing up and sharing your story 💙

It’s Youth Homelessness Awareness Month.

But let’s face it, awareness isn’t enough.

Homeless youth deserve action from us.

We can cut youth homelessness in half over the next ten years. The cost of doing nothing is too high. Let’s #EndYouthHomelessness

Face the truth: youth homelessness will triple in the next 10 years.

We can’t let that happen, and the fight starts now.

If we can’t face that truth, we can’t start making change. This November, take action with us for Youth Homelessness Awareness Month to reverse this crisis.

Mark your calendars: November is Youth Homelessness Awareness Month.
Let’s take action together – join thousands of advocates across the country in making a difference for young people. Start now by spreading the word!

We’re rethinking what “affordable” really means for young people trying to move out of homelessness and into stable housing.

That means building 1,000 housing units over the next 10 years that youth can rent for 30% of whatever their income is — no more no less.

On World Homeless Day, let’s face some hard truths about youth homelessness 💡

Covenant House Pa. opens new youth housing - The Chestnut Hill Local Covenant House Pennsylvania, a nonprofit organization providing shelter and services for young people, opened a new facility in Germantown this month.

Food for thought: reducing youth homelessness will lead to much less long-term adult homelessness.

Some of our residents didn't have prom outfits, so our board member Rachel Brosnahan brought them to Say Yes to the Prom and helped them get all dressed up!

Our commitment to creating these moments of dignity for our residents is what makes us more than just a youth shelter.

Thanks for coming by! Music studios are some of the most amazing and energetic spaces at our sites - it's so awesome to see youth coming together to make art and express themselves in community.
