Covenant House

Housing & Shelter · Connecticut · Free

International organization providing shelter, food, and crisis care to homeless youth including LGBTQ+ youth. A starting point for case management, emergency vouchers, and longer-term placement. Most stays in emergency shelter are 30–90 days while you work with case management on next steps. Family rejection is the #1 cause of LGBTQ+ youth homelessness — interventions sometimes restore housing if family is willing to work with counselors. Free service; donations support but never gate access.
