Who We Are

Covenant House New Jersey (CHNJ) provides sanctuary and support for youth ages 18-21 facing homelessness or human trafficking. We have seven locations across the state: Atlantic City, Newark, Jersey City, Camden, Asbury Park, and specialized care in Montclair and Elizabeth. Across all our New Jersey sites, we serve about 4,585 youth annually, and all our services are free.

What We Do

Covenant House meets immediate needs for food, clothing, safety, and medical and mental health care. We have specialized programs for young parents and their small children and for human trafficking survivors. And we help young people experiencing homelessness to advance their goals and achieve sustainable independence with education, job readiness, and career pathways programs.

Through a strengths-based, trauma-informed practice model, refined over time through decades of outcome data, we help young people discover and develop their power to overcome adversity and achieve their dreams.
