Covenant House Vancouver’s purpose is to serve all youth, with absolute respect and unconditional love, to help youth experiencing homelessness, and to protect and safeguard all youth in need.
We help young people aged 16 to 24 who have fled physical, emotional, and sexual abuse; those who have been forced from their homes; those who have experienced human trafficking and those who have aged out of foster care with no supports.
Covenant House relies on the generosity of over 50,000 individuals and organizations to provide shelter, food, clothing and counselling to over 100 individual young people every day.
Covenant House provides three core services:
Community Support Services (CSS) which provides outreach, a drop-in program and housing support.
63 bed Crisis Program with female and male only spaces.
Rights of Passage (ROP) a transitional living program.
Covenant House Vancouver offers a raft of wrap-around services in addition to our core programs. We use evidence-informed theories and practices that ensure they care for the entire person – mind, body, and spirit. Services range from outreach and drop-in to residential and support services that enable youth to transition into independence successfully.
CHV uses a “one size, fits one” approach, tailored to the specific needs of each individual youth. This ensures that precise supports are made available to youth based on their respective journey meeting each youth’s unique needs.
