This place is good if your looking for shelter and basic mental health services for very minor mental health issues. For a program that only supports youth aged 18-21 they provide very little help with issues beyond work, housing, and identification services. Their mental health treatment is as bare as possible dealing with simple issues like anxiety or depression but little for bigger issues like schizophrenia or bipolar and give little help pushing you towards a program to help support you in that aspect. As a simple homeless shelter it is pretty good with a reasonable food schedule even though if strictly enforced. I would give this a higher score if it was simply a normal homeless shelter but as it is aimed towards younger adults and getting them off the streets they offer little support aside from finding you housing and getting you jobs, in fact they will sometimes enforce times where you cannot enter the building without a job which in my opinion defeats the purpose of getting youth off the street if your restricting them from a safe environment. For a place that helps abandoned youth transition into adulthood very little support is given. Summary: Overall it's a good homeless shelter but a subpar young adult support shelter. Pros: -Good rooming situations and provided washing and dryer -Access to a reliable meal schedule -Chores to teach responsibility -Provide helpful job opportunities -Good clinical help with minor mental health issues Cons: -Little assistance to major health issues (Schizophrenia, Bipolar, etc.) -Strict rules on scheduled times. -Slow reception on housing opportunities together with pressured limited time shelter stay -Minor help on services beyond identification and jobs -Little encouragement of youth provided

I urge any child or young adult who are either on the streets or close to homelessness for whatever reason to reach out to this organization for help. They have the resources you need and all is voluntary. You are not forced to stay. Get the help you deserve.

If it wasn’t for this place, I don’t know if I’d be here today. I see some bad reviews and I’d like to just say, there’s always that one person that rub us the wrong way. Some of the staff have been here for many years and don’t hesitate to reach out for help if you need it! With Love, me.

I’d like to give this place 5 stars for helping to shape the person I am today. I used their services awhile back and if it wasn’t for them, I would have been on the streets and probably dead. I see some bad reviews regarding recent staff and I've reached out to the coordinator who had admitted that especially during COVID, they went through some bumps in the road. I urge any teen who is in a bad predicament and close to or living on the streets to reach out for help. There are always bad apples in the bunch but there are some very genuine people who have been a part of this establishment for over 15+ years. Let them help you. Help spread awareness for the children or young adults who are stuck in a bad way to reach out for help. Don’t let the streets take over your life. I hope everyone stays safe out there.

Adult women or men have separate facilities. In most areas in United States you can dial 911 and explain your situation briefly, that you are homeless and would like to request police officer transportation to a shelter. In extremely cold weather they are expected to bring you to a shelter even if you tell them you do not want to go. Children will go with mom and not be sparated. Take care and may God bless you, in Jesus name. Amen
No the program is for teens 17-22

Sorry to hear that but unfortunately he has to be between 18 and 21 year's old
It's not a traditional shelter. It's a long term stay until you get on your feet However space is limited so you may want to check with them ahead of time.
In any situation, when you wonder if something can be accomplished, call. I hope you are okay since writing. ♥️
not that i know of, im sorry
You age out the program at 22 your allowed to stay up until then
Yes there's young men and ladies. That i don't know you would gave to call them to find out
The age limit is 16 to 21
I'm sorry don't know that much about it. I was only there with a church. But Walmart is alway's hiring. And if you go to bridge and pratt take the 58 bus going to the nashamy mall. The big dollar store is hiring and the burger king. And the arbby. And good luck.
If your accepted at covenant house you can come and go daily as if it is your home and you have a permanent bed until you exit the program, but they have rules that must be followed.
Sorry i don't know if they have any space left please try calling
