Covenant House is a homeless shelter for youth ages 16-22 - and so much more. In New Orleans, Covenant House has been open 24/7 since 1987, touching the lives of over 35,000 youth ever since. Beyond shelter, our high-quality programs - including life skills training, education and employment counseling, services for pregnant and parenting youth, services for survivors of human trafficking, and transitional living apartments - are designed to prepare youth for the great purpose of their lives.
