They don’t help if you are older then 21 so don’t bother

Stayed here from February Intill April and this place was honestly terrible. The staff don’t care about anything at All. The rooms and bathrooms were absolutely disgusting. Mrs Fatima was the most evil person I’ve ever met always kicking people out for no reason with no care in the world. DO NOT COME HERE

I had the opportunity of residing at the Covenant House. I regret not staying until I turned 21. I would have had a lot of money saved and would've went back to school and finished. It has its pros and cons like any other shelter, but the help IS there. If you have a problem with following rules, then yeah, you're going to have issues there. But in regards to help; you're fed, you have a bed, you have a place to shower, you can do your laundry and transportation is given(BUS PASSES). You're able to take advantage of programs they offer for job training, counseling is there, guidance is there, saving help is there. Putting aside all of the cons, it is a good place for teens and young adults 18-21 with or without kids, I'd recommend you go here. Even if you don't get a bed right away, if it is available, they provide emergency stays. Food, Shower, somewhere to sleep for the night, bus pass if you need it. I'm speaking from experience. I highly recommend.

Would not recommend at all. They allow a lot of things to happen and they don’t respect people’s feelings enough because they feel like they worked there for 14 years or longer that they seen it all so they could care less until a big situation occur. NOW THEY ARE CLUELESS look for somewhere else to go. They building is falling apart, they are roaches in bugs in the babies sits and molding in all the bathrooms. There are so much more but we would be here all day.

I'm 18 and have a service dog for mental disabilities and my aunt kicked me out and I'm trying to get my GED once school starts. Would I be able to stay there? Because i keep getting told by people that nowhere will take me with my service dog.

All organizations must by law accept service dogs. They will request copy of the dogs paperwork to verify the dog is a certified service dog.

Do they have childcare?

Mayckland | Sep 3, 2018
Michael Goodman | Sep 3, 2019

Let me put it this way, they will try their best. Assuming they haven't been hit too hard by the government funding cuts for non profits and non essential spending by the current white house administration, they might be able to. However, don't bet on it. I know covenant house was mentioned in a news story in the local paper about having their bed capacity cut from 40 to under 20 about a year and a half ago.

How does Covenant House meet the spiritual needs of these children?

Mary Worsham | Sep 3, 2018
Michael Goodman | Sep 3, 2019

Well, they are technically a "faith based" non profit which originally was focused on the goodness of god. However, covenant house tends to respect the religion/non religious preference of the client, as I will refer to them. However due to the various religions like Buddhism, Christianity, spiritualism, etc. Which believe in a specific entity separate, but with the likeness of God it can create a bizzare conflict of interest for some. Especially for atheists who do not believe in any god. But if you are going there to receive services, you kind of have to take your wins with your losses here.
