Patricia Simmons's Company Details
No youth should ever be without a home — period. This urgent belief and 50 years of experience have placed Covenant House at the forefront of the fight against youth homelessness. Founded in 1972, Covenant House is the largest privately-funded agency in the Americas offering free 24/7 crisis care, housing, and supportive services for youth, young families, and survivors of human trafficking. Located in 33 cities across 6 countries (Canada, the United States, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua) Covenant House provides shelter, food, medical and mental health care, crisis intervention, educational and vocational services, and an array of supportive services to youth facing homelessness regardless of their race, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression. The Covenant House mission is centered and built on community, where youth, staff, volunteers, and partners love one another unconditionally, respect each other absolutely, and dedicate ourselves to a covenant of compassion and hope.
