Our Services

Covenant House New Jersey is the largest provider in the state of services to homeless and at-risk adolescents between the ages of 16 and 21. Last year, Covenant House served over 2,000 young people. Tonight alone, 120 homeless adolescents and 19 babies in North and South Jersey have a safe and caring place to sleep. Another dozen will walk through the doors of the 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. Covenant House will help over 50 percent of them to stabilize their crises and leave the streets, and continue to progress in their life goals.

In addition to food, shelter, clothing, and crisis care, Covenant House New Jersey provides health care, educational and vocational services, counseling, drug abuse treatment and prevention programs, legal services, mother/child programs, transitional living programs, street outreach, and aftercare.
