Our Mission
We who recognize God's providence
and fidelity to His people are dedicated to living out
His covenant among ourselves and those children we serve
with absolute respect and unconditional love. That commitment
calls us to serve suffering children of the street, and
to protect and safeguard all children. Just Christ in His
humanity is a visible sign of God's presence among His
people, so our efforts together in the covenant community
are a visible sign that effects the presence of God, throught
the Holy Spirit among ourselves and our kids.

Here for A Look at Our History
Covenant House New Jersey (CHNJ) has been
serving homeless and runaway youth since 1989. We’re
a place for second chances for young people who find themselves
homeless and alone.
 Covenant House New Jersey
(CHNJ) is the largest provider in the state of services
to homeless and at-risk adolescents between the ages of
16 and 21. Last year, we served over 2,000 young people.
Tonight alone, we will give 110 homeless adolescents and
19 babies in North and South Jersey a safe and caring place
to sleep. Another dozen will walk through the doors of
our Crisis Centers in Newark and Atlantic City for the
first time, at all hours of the day and night, looking
for a way off the street and someone to help them, to care
for them. We will help most of them to stabilize their
crises and leave the streets.
Our work has shown us the
many factors that contribute to a young person’s
homelessness. Therefore, we offer shelter that is enriched
with a comprehensive array of supportive services that
help our young people to not only stabilize their crises,
but to also transition to a stable living environment where
they can continue to progress in their life’s goals.
