I love this map its telling me were to go for my safety

Ms. Sharon is rude. She talks about residents to other staff, is not confidential about resident business and gives a nasty attitude. She is one of the workers who is in charge of everything too.

Enjoyed my time. Nice people, I say come volunteer or at least donate.

I was at the covenant house back in 2009 it was a great place help me get on my feet

Very nice place to Visit

Brought a friends nephew to seek shelter at Covenant House and the reception was great. The programme here is good for troubled youth. They also provide counseling, educational, medical services, etc.

Abuse and terrible communication

A steppin stone like no otha. As they will be quick to remind you, its not a station house or a mission. Its a transitional housin program for teens to young adults. They service anyone from 16-21 without a home. Im a former resident here, I was 21 with nowhere to go. All of the resources will help you land on your feet. If you are actually able to obtain a bed here, you will be happy you did. You must go thru a week long process of computer literacy to complete lessons before u can get bus fare. Thereafter, you can get tokens to go about the city to find a job. Once you do, you must relinquish 75% of each paycheck to deposit into your file. This is to save money that you can receive back once you no longer wish to be a resident. It helped me save $500 to rent my first room. Dont know where Id be today without it. Not a place where you encounter dirty n uninspired individuals of all ages with careless workers. Its where young individuals can have a safe place to store their things & have somewhere to sleep until their situation turns around. I loved it

The 2nd lady at the desk Made me sleep on the st at night b/c she said she did more than enough intakes for the day right b4 the first one was about to give me my room. So they told me to come back at 9am. They dont care.. N it was a storm that night. Never forget it. N never went back.

Although this is a safe place for the youth.. Some of the staff are rude. It’s really really easy to get discharged. They really only help people with children to get FAST housing. They have no medical staff available after 3pm. And the bathrooms are DIRTY !!

This is a well meaning institution with the capability to do a lot of good, but the amount of good it can do is severely undermined by the behavior of specific staff members, most notably Ms. Denise. She has a reputation with the residents of going out of her way to provoke discharges and causing needless antagonism, to the point of causing an autistic resident to have an extreme panic attack. She escalated this panic attack by being physically and verbally aggressive and discharged the resident for panicking, calling in paramedics to hospitalize and conduct a psych evaluation on the mentally ill adolescent whose breakdown she escalated—seemingly deliberately. The shelter’s mission of providing help to disadvantaged and homeless minority youth is not achievable with a staff member like this in their employ, as any good they do could just as easily be undone. She is at best, ableist, and at worst, malicious. Residents should never fear being made homeless again because of antagonistic staff members, and as such I cannot give a positive review.

For anyone seeking shelter ages 18-21, the covenant house is a wonderful place to get your life back on track. Staff are very friendly and helpful. You just have to want it.

Great place took my son there to run a couple drill on a freezing cold day. We need more places like this for kids to go and to feel safe and still be a kid.

Great place for homeless teens. the standards are high. They try to find them permanent placement in places like Job Corps something before they let them go, so its not just the flophouse but a comprehensive program. They take kids up to the age of 21.

They take young adults from 18 to 21, they get them off the streets and get them started on the right path in life. I think these people are amazing!!!!!

They do great work for the homeless youth by setting them up with interview training, resume reviews, and lending them secondhand interview clothes so that the youth can go out and get real jobs for themselves. The staff are strict but caring, as you need to be to run a place like this. They host sleepouts where people can come and learn about their mission and hear some youth speak. I highly recommend attending one.

They help in lots of ways for ppl who are homeless n what not . This place is good for all ages that may need a helping hand

Ive went to the covenant house in my youth it is very great stepping stool for young adult that need help housing and with that comfort can help them get jobs school and further in life

Well I work for Covenant House , I cook and feed the youth....one of my experience is when the kids leave and come back and remember home cooked meals, they tell u how they miss the Cov.

When I was there, these people were some of the nicest people Ive ever met.

Covenant house has change so much. Now they help.the youth and that a real good thing. 😛😘😇😉

Great Women s Sleep Out 2017. So glad I participated.

Helping young people get their lives back on track.. I truly enjoyed volunteering with Mrs. Pa America Valerie Ross

They need to have more for the youth to do other than just tell them to be outside.

Nice place to work.

Out of every shelter in Philadelphia this is the best one they have for the youth

Best place I ever been too

The place is a joke i got discharged there twice by them

Very nice, caring individuals.

The covenant house, houses single mothers, teenage mothers, kids without a home they make sure they get an education and gives them tools to learn how to get a job etc.

Love you guys

No public parking, cattle call interviewing.

These young brothers and sisters need mentors!!

Only for 18-21 age

Worst place ever

Good cause

Idk

Childish
