ABOUT US

-----

Covenant House Florida serves runaway, homeless, and at-risk youth ages 18-22

Each year, we reach hundreds of kids in Fort Lauderdale via street outreach, crisis shelters, transitional housing projects, and aftercare, making Covenant House Florida one of the largest private agencies serving runaway and homeless youth in the state of Florida. 


The demand for emergency shelter currently exceeds our financial capacity, and we have waiting lists in Fort Lauderdale. We ask all referral sources, e.g. law enforcement personnel, social service representatives, pastors, teachers, and guidance counselors, as well as youth and parents seeking help to call ahead to determine if a bed is available.
