No youth should ever be without a home — period. This urgent belief and over 50 years of experience have placed Covenant House at the forefront of the fight against youth homelessness. Founded in 1972, Covenant House is the largest primarily privately-funded agency in the North and Central America offering free 24/7 crisis care, housing, and supportive services for youth, young families, and survivors of human trafficking. Located in 34 cities across 5 countries (the United States, Canada, Guatemala, Honduras, and Mexico) Covenant House provides shelter, food, medical and mental health care, crisis intervention, educational and vocational services, and an array of supportive services to youth facing homelessness regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The Covenant House mission is centered and built on community, where youth, staff, volunteers, and partners love one another unconditionally, respect each other absolutely, and dedicate ourselves to a covenant of compassion and hope.

We open doors for young people building their futures. Since 1984, Larkin Street Youth Services has been the largest nonprofit provider of services to youth at risk of or experiencing homelessness in the Bay Area. We’ve supported over 80,000 young people ages 12 to 24 —and 3 out of 4 who access our comprehensive programs exit to safe and stable housing. Our continuum of care spans outreach, shelter, housing, health, wellness, education and employment. They have the potential and drive to build what’s next. We’re here to support the bold steps along the way. Follow us to see how we’re ending youth homelessness.

YouthCare works to end youth homelessness and to ensure that young people are valued for who they are and empowered to achieve their potential. Founded in 1974, YouthCare was one of the first shelters to serve youth experiencing homelessness on the West Coast. Since then, YouthCare has expanded to more than a dozen sites serving over 1,500 youth every year. Through a comprehensive range of services including outreach, prevention, shelter, housing, education, and employment training, YouthCare ensures that young people experiencing homelessness have the hope, skills, and self-confidence needed to thrive.
