EITHER DIRECTLY OR THROUGH REFERRAL, WE GUIDE YOUTH TO APPROPRIATE EDUCATIONAL AND VOCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES, MATCHING EACH YOUNG PERSON'S STRENGTHS AND ABILITIES WITH THEIR CAREER INTERESTS.

IN FISCAL YEAR 2021, WE SERVED 3,500 YOUNG PEOPLE THROUGH OUR OUTREACH PROGRAMS.- HUMAN TRAFFICKING SURVIVORSOF THE THOUSANDS OF YOUNG PEOPLE WHO FIND SAFETY AND SANCTUARY AT COVENANT HOUSE, OUR RESEARCH INDICATES THAT APPROXIMATELY ONE IN FIVE ARE SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING. YOUNG PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS ARE VULNERABLE TO TRAFFICKERS, WHO PREY ON THEIR NEED FOR LOVE, SUPPORT, A SAFE PLACE TO SLEEP, AND FOOD TO CREATE A TRAUMA BOND WITH THEM. COVENANT HOUSE HAS PIONEERED INTAKE SCREENING TOOLS TO QUICKLY REVEAL A HISTORY OF TRAFFICKING THAT YOUNG PEOPLE, OTHERWISE, MAY FIND DIFFICULT TO NAME.

THIS IS EVEN MORE THE CASE FOR YOUNG PEOPLE OF COLOR AND THOSE WHO IDENTIFY AS LGBTQ, WHO FACE UNIQUE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH RACISM AND PREJUDICE.

WE ALSO HELP YOUTH SECURE PERMANENT HOUSING BY COVERING A PORTION OF THEIR RENT, A PORTION THAT DWINDLES AS THEIR CAPACITY FOR INDEPENDENCE INCREASES.
