Sleeping Outside, So Homeless Youth Don't Have To...
On November 15th, 2012, over 40 business & community leaders in New Orleans joined their peers in 12 cities across North America to “Sleep Out” on the street in solidarity with nearly a million homeless young people, giving up the comforts of home for one night to show their support and raise awareness.
“These respected leaders spent a night on the sidewalk with nothing but a sleeping bag and a cardboard box,” said Jim Kelly, Executive Director. “Their small sacrifice sends a clear message to homeless and at-risk kids—that we stand with them in their struggles, celebrate their courage and resiliency, and support their promise and dreams.”
The night was a tremendous success; we raised over $107,000 to support our kids. We’re already looking forward to a bigger & better event next year, November 21, 2013!

About Us
Covenant House New Orleans serves over 1,000 homeless, runaway, and at-risk youth (ages 16-21) every year. We have provided over 18,000 kids with food, shelter, clothing, medical attention, individual & family counseling, educational assistance, vocational & job training, life skills, short & long term housing, and more. Over the past year, our accomplishments include:
- Crisis Shelter: We served 565 youth and children, a 48%
increase over the previous year.
- Stable Housing: 55% of our kids successfully reunited with
family, enrolled in transitional or supportive housing, or saved enough of
their employment income to rent an apartment.
- Jobs: 54% of the kids in our employment program found jobs or
entered job-training programs.
- Rights of Passage: We recently reopened our educational, vocational, and transitional living program for 36 youth.
As a charity, we are dependent on donations for 80% of our
funding.
