mission: -> We who recognize God's providence and fidelity to His people are dedicated to living out His Covenant among themselves and those children we serve, with absolute respect and unconditional love. That commitment calls us to serve suffering children of the street, and to protect and safeguard all children. Just as Christ in His Humanity is the visible sign of God's presence among His people, so our efforts together in the covenant community are a visible sign that effects the presence of God, working through the Holy Spirit among ourselves and our kids. Covenant House will continue to fulfill its mission by providing shelter and services to children and youth who are homeless or at great risk. In the spirit of open intake, services will be offered to all youth who seek help, with a priority of concern and commitment to those for whom no other service is available. We will make every effort to reunite kids with their families. We will collaborate with community agencies and associations and actively participate in community efforts to improve the condition of families and children.

notes: Covenant House New Orleans provides shelter and services to homeless, runaway and at-risk youth 16 - 21. On any given night we have about 75 kids in residence. We have grown since our humble beginning in 1984 when we offered outreach and referral services from a leased office on Canal Street. Our 70-bed Crisis Center opened in 1987 and two transitional living residences, with an additional 25 beds, were added a year later. The Crisis Center is located at our main campus at 611 N. Rampart Street at the edge of the historic French Quarter and is open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. Help begins with a hot meal, clean clothes, a shower and a bed. Only after these immediate needs are met does the Covenant House staff begin to address the more complex problems of these youth in crisis. Our team of caring professionals develop and implement intensive, individualized programs for each young person. Services include counseling, health services, substance abuse management, educational and employment services and pastoral guidance. On an average night, 47 young people receive crisis services. If you are in Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama or Arkansas and are in need of our crisis, intervention and other services.
