Crisis Center
Covenant House Alaska’s (CHA) Crisis Center offers homeless, runaway and at-risk youth ages 13 to 20 a safe place to stay and get help. The Crisis Center is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, and all services are free of charge. With our open intake policy, no youth who comes to our door is ever turned away. We are never too full to welcome them in, and we are never too busy to talk. At the Crisis Center, our well-trained, compassionate staff can assist youth with:

• Safe shelter
• Food
• Clothing
• Counseling
• Family mediation
• Medical attention
• Employment and education assistance

At the Crisis Center, youth also have access to other CHA programs, such as the Community Services Center and Transitional Living Program, as well as CHA services, such as Employment/Education Assistance, Health Services, the Youth Enrichment Program, Pastoral Ministry, and Housing Services.

Through these programs and services, the Crisis Center staff works toward our primary goal to reunite youth with their families. However, if returning home is not an option, we work with the youth to find a safe alternative.
