- Supported Lodging**

**2 years contract**

For forty years, we have maintained a steadfast dedication to our mission: supporting the vulnerable youth who come through our doors. To this day, we remain committed to this duty.

Covenant House helps youth ignite their potential and reclaim their lives. As Canada’s largest agency serving youth who are homeless, trafficked or at risk, we offer the widest range of services to hundreds of young people every day. More than a place to stay, we provide 24/7 crisis shelter and transitional housing on-site and in the community, along with comprehensive services including education, counselling, health care, employment assistance, job training and after-care. Since 1982, Covenant House has supported more than 100,000 young people.

As a national leader, we educate and advocate for long-term change to improve the lives of vulnerable youth. This includes influencing public policy, leading awareness and prevention programs and continually building and sharing our knowledge. As a learning organization, we strive for excellence and programs with impact.

We provide life-changing care with unconditional love and respect. We meet youth's immediate needs and then we work together to achieve their future goals.

Thanks to our donors, who contribute 80 per cent of our $44.2-million annual operating budget, we are able to deliver these comprehensive programs and services.

The Supportive Lodging home is a new model of transitional housing for youth between the ages of 16-24. It is a unique program in that it provides congregate living for up to 4 youth in two separate homes with a live in mentor providing critical on - site support to the youth.

This program will be supporting youth who require some additional support and coaching to prepare them for independent living. Each home will work with a specialized population of youth who face significant barriers in accessing housing. One house will be designated for youth who identify as LGBTQ2S and the second house will be for racialized youth.
