Best social service agency I ever worked for. HR is very supportive. I keep getting small raises every year.

Covenant House is a blessing to at risk youth. Darren Miller is a great primary youth advisor. You can tell that he is passionate about his job. He has a heart for youth and is very compassionate and empathic. He was made for his position.

Broke up a fight while two staff watching in their station. Got kicked out along side another person, im pretty sure one of the fighters is still allowed to stay. A complete joke.

Hi Asra. This shelter is for youth ages 14 to 21.

There's a youth that I know is currently homeless. He will be 19 this year. What is the procedure to have him placed in your facility?

Ka Mazyck | Sep 22, 2018
Diosvany Aguila | Sep 22, 2018

Just have him come in with identification and the staff there will give him all the information to register and evaluate him. There he will recieve a bed given there is bed available. If not he will be on an on call list. He will also receive toiletries clothing if needed food help with education and finding work hope this answers your question

Because you have children, the board of social services should be able to provide TRA as long as you haven't use the benefit within two years. To answer your question, Covenant House is for homeless at risk youth.

Maya Davis | Sep 22, 2018
