Young men and women can grow only when they feel safe. 

Covenant House offers sanctuary for homeless youth.

We teach by example that caring relationships are based on trust, respect and honesty.

Help Homeless Youth in NJ

Youth come to us in crisis. Immediately, and without question, 

we meet their basic needs - a meal, a shower, clean clothes and a safe place away from the dangerous streets.

Tonight there will be 3,000 homeless kids on the streets of New Jersey. Help save a life and donate now. 

Covenant House New Jersey

Since 1989, Covenant House New Jersey has been providing food, shelter, immediate crisis care, and an array of other important services to homeless, runaway and trafficked youth between the ages of 18-21. Today there are 30 Covenant House locations in the USA, Canada and Latin America. Together we serve more than 51,000 homeless young people each year.

We are proud to be the nation’s largest privately funded agency serving homeless, runaway and at-risk youth. Our doors are open 24 hours a day for youth in need.
