What it does — in its own words
Ongoing programs
Covenant House Vancouver offers a 24-hour crisis shelter a supported living program street outreach and drop-in service for youth aged at 16-24 who are homeless and at risk of homeless. Covenant House Vancouver supports young people by providing a continuum of care that responds to the individual needs of each young person who comes to us for help. In additional to food shelter and clothing Covenant House Vancouver also offers mental health drug and alcohol counselling to over 1 000 youth annually.
New programs
Our new Sanctuary Program started running in June 2024 and will be the lowest-barrier program of care offered by Covenant House Vancouver helping fill the gap of supports needed specifically for unhoused young people. The purpose of the program is to give young people who present with significant substance-use and mental-health concerns the opportunity to stabilize and identify the recovery pathway that will work for them. This may include more comprehensive mental-health and addictions care as well as stable housing and social supports.
