MISSION - WHAT WE DO

Covenant House New Jersey provides comprehensive residential care and related services to help New Jersey’s youth who have suffered from abuse, neglect, abandonment, homelessness, and human trafficking build a life for themselves that is good. We journey with our young people from the streets, to our Residential Crisis Centers, to our transitional living homes, and on to independent living in the community to help them break the cycle of homelessness and poverty. Covenant House opened its doors in New Jersey in 1989 in response to the alarming rate of homelessness among the state’s young people. The most recent local count found 715 homeless youth across the state on a single night in January. Seven hundred and fifteen young people were roaming the streets aimlessly, and sleeping in cars, abandoned buildings, public parks, and train stations on one of the coldest nights of the year, exposed to human traffickers, drug dealers, pimps and other criminals who prey on vulnerable youth. Our mission calls on us to “serve suffering children of the street,” and for the last 30 years, we have worked tirelessly to actualize this mission by combining a comprehensive menu of support services with a progressive continuum of housing options.
