At Covenant House New Jersey (CHNJ), fostering a supportive community is fundamental to our mission of aiding youth facing homelessness. We provide safe spaces where young individuals can rebuild their lives and strive for a better future through various housing options like emergency shelter and transitional housing. These programs offer not just essentials like food and clothing but also vital services like education support, counseling, and job training through the Dove Learning Center (DLC). Staff are dedicated to cultivating a sense of belonging, encouraging residents to uplift each other as they journey towards stability and independence. Despite empowering youth with essential skills, securing affordable housing remains a significant challenge due to limited availability and systemic barriers. High rental costs and landlord reluctance pose hurdles, compounded by discrimination based on age, race, or source of income (e.g., rent voucher). CHNJ actively works to address these issues, applying for government vouchers and forging partnerships with landlords to expand housing options. Even after leaving CHNJ, ongoing support is crucial to prevent setbacks, emphasizing the importance of community in sustaining stable housing for youth navigating adult life for the first time.   CHNJ remains steadfast in our commitment to building community as a cornerstone of securing safe and stable housing for youth. Through collaboration with partners and ongoing support, we strive to empower young individuals, ensuring they have the resources and assistance needed to thrive beyond our programs.

The school-to-prison pipeline isn't just a statistic—it's a harsh reality for far too many young people. It's time to dismantle this harmful cycle and create pathways to success for all students. Our schools should be places of learning and growth, not pathways to incarceration. It's time to invest in supportive environments, equitable resources, and community-centered solutions to end the school-to-prison pipeline. We believe in restoration over punishment: https://ow.ly/84uq50SwgqV
