About this organization
Mission
Covenant House California is dedicated to serving all God's children, with absolute respect and unconditional love, to help youth experiencing homelessness, and to protect and safeguard all youth in need. We believe that no young person deserves to be homeless; that every young person in California deserves shelter, food, clothing, education and most importantly, to be loved. And we believe that it is our responsibility, as a community, to ensure that young people are given the opportunities that they deserve to achieve their dreams.
About
Safe Haven Program: Formerly known as the 'Crisis Shelter,' this program features emergency shelter in 4 campuses located in Los Angeles, Oakland (2 campuses) and Berkley, CA. The immediate goal of the program is the stabilization of homeless youth who have recently entered from the street. Included within the shelter services are: individualized case management for every youth in the program, three daily meals, mental health counseling, access to primary medical care, crisis stabilization, substance use counseling, referrals to agencies providing services outside the scope of Covenant House California, and wellness/life skills activities and experiential education. [See continuation schedule O] Case managers work with each individual youth to develop and implement a case plan that centers upon increasing their independence, self-confidence, and ability to access community linkages. During fiscal year 2018, Covenant House California served 3,238 youth.
