Covenant House PA

What Covenant House PA does

Covenant House Pennsylvania (legal entity: CH Pennsylvania Under-21; EIN 23-3003176) is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit founded in 2000 that delivers a trauma-informed continuum of care to youth ages 18-24 experiencing homelessness and human trafficking across two Pennsylvania sites — Philadelphia (headquarters at 31 E. Armat Street) and York County. The organization operates 24/7/365 and runs an integrated suite of programs including street outreach, a Safe Haven emergency shelter, an onsite Health & Wellbeing clinic providing medical and mental health care, Education & Employment Services, and Rights of Passage / Rapid Rehousing that helps youth secure leases and build independent living skills. In its most recent reporting year it reached 2,619 youth across programs and provided 31,029 nights of safe housing, with more than 57,000 youth served cumulatively since founding.

The organization does not operate a technology product platform; service delivery is human-staffed and program-based. It augments direct service with advocacy work, chairing the Philadelphia Anti Trafficking Coalition and participating in the Pennsylvanians Against Human Trafficking Advocacy Work Group (PAHTAWG) at the state capitol. Its core go-to-market motion is fundraising rather than customer acquisition: services are provided at no cost to youth, and revenue is generated through individual donations (online at secure.qgiv.com and via mail), corporate partnerships, the annual Sleep Out event, and grants. The CEO is Alexia Clarke and the organization is governed by a board that includes senior business leaders such as CAMCO Property Management president Chris Maus. The current annual operating budget is approximately $6 million, and the organization is in a 25th Anniversary campaign period in 2025.
