Now celebrating its 40th year serving Houston, Covenant House Texas is a faith-based
organization committed to giving homeless youth a safe haven, absolute respect, unconditional
love, and a path to lasting independence. In partnership with the community, we are the voice
for homeless youth. Located on 2.7 acres in the Montrose area, Covenant House Texas (CHT)
was founded as an affiliate site to Covenant House International in 1983. Originally established
as an overnight shelter, it has grown to include comprehensive housing programs and support
services that foster responsibility and independence in young people. Covenant House Texas
remains the only organization in Houston that comprehensively and exclusively offers homeless
services and a complete continuum of care to youth ages 18 – 24. In 2019, CHT embarked on a
“Building for Life” Campaign to address its need for new facilities. Over $55 million has been
raised towards four phases, and a new campus is under construction with expected completion
in March of 2025.
During construction, Covenant House Texas moved its housing facilities and direct services for
youth to Beulah Street in the Third Ward to meet their needs without disruption.
Administrative offices remain at 1110 Lovett adjacent to the new campus.
