Check if Schedule O contains a response to any question in this Part III ...............
1
Briefly describe the organization’s mission: We who recognize God's providence and fidelity to His people are dedicated to living out His covenant among ourselves and those children we serve, with absolute respect and unconditional love. That commitment calls us to serve suffering children of the street, and to protect and safeguard all children. Just as Christ in His humanity is the visible sign of God's presence among His people, so our efforts together in the covenant community are a visible sign that effects the presence of God, working through the Holy Spirit among ourselves and our kids. Covenant House is the parent organization of eighteen affiliated organizations which operate childcare programs in six countries. Covenant House has affiliated programs in Alaska, California, Florida, Georgia, Louisiana, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Texas, and Washington, D.C. in the United States and in Toronto, Ontario and Vancouver British Columbia in Canada. In addition Covenant House has affiliated organizati

CRISIS CENTERS (SHELTER AND CRISIS CARE) Youth in crisis need help immediately. That is why Covenant Houses 21 crisis centers are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. The Covenant House mission is that any youth up to 21 years of age can easily find his or her way to the crisis shelters door, and that he or she is never, ever told to "come back later." The street takes more from these young people than their money, their health, or even their dignity. It gradually takes away their ability to trust, either themselves or others. That is why Covenant Houses open door policy is so critical. Specially-trained staff address a young persons immediate needs - shelter, clean clothes, a shower, hot food, and a warm bed. Then, the counselors work with the youth to develop the best plan for the future During fiscal year 2013, Covenant House Crisis Centers provided shelter to 9,119 youth and children. On average, kids stay in the crisis shelters from one to three weeks depending on their circumstances. They receive individual and group counseling, vocational and educational training, and help toward securing employment and housing, as well as health care, legal services, pastoral counseling and advocacy.
4b (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 7,775,336 including grants of $ 909,278 ) (Revenue $   )
PUBLIC EDUCATION Though Covenant House is primarily known as a provider of social services for homeless and runaway young people, the agency places great importance on its role as a spokesperson for not only the youth its serves, but for all young people at risk. In addition to advocacy efforts undertaken by each of Covenant House's sites, Covenant House periodically publishes and widely disseminates books which tell the stories of the young people who come to Covenant House for help. The objective of these publications is to counteract the often negative stereotypes many people have of homeless youth and sensitize the public to the needs and aspirations of this very vulnerable segment of society. Covenant House publications provide advice to parents on how to relate to a child they believe may be thinking of running away, and options for young people whose problems at home may cause them to consider this alternative. This public education effort also takes the form of occasional special events, such as the November Candlelight Vigil sponsored by each Covenant House in the United States and Canada. The purpose of these Vigils is to draw media coverage and public attention to the plight of homeless and at risk youth and suggest ways in which these young people can be helped. Covenant House sites also hold seminars on subjects of concern to social service professionals and young people themselves, such as the Youth Conventions which Covenant House sponsors.
4c (Code:   ) (Expenses $ 5,353,505 including grants of $ 4,847,245 ) (Revenue $   )
RIGHTS OF PASSAGE Covenant House's Rights of Passage (ROP) is a unique program for older youth (18-21) who have no place to go and who need support to achieve adult independence. The program, which is in place in Covenant Houses across the United States and at our two Canadian affiliates, answers a pressing need many older kids at Covenant House feel as they endeavor to become contributing members of society. During fiscal year 2013, 1,344 youth were served by ROP. Youth live at ROP for up to 18 months, working, improving their education and job skills, and - most important - preparing to be truly independent in a place of their own. In ROP, young people receive plenty of guidance, encouragement, and expert advice. They are expected to work hard, fulfill their part of the covenant, pull their own weight and participate in community service activities. Rights of Passage provides the youth with the opportunity to set goals for themselves and work hard to achieve them. The youth in ROP often have educational deficiencies and few have had any career training. Youth are provided with opportunities to augment their education while the vocational program guides residents toward career path jobs, teaching them interviewing skills, easing their transition into the workplace, and following up with employers to lend a hand. In Life Skills, they learn how to budget, find an apartment, cook, clean, manage their time - the tools they need to make the important transition to independent living.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
purpose of endowment Part V, Line 4 Covenant House's endowment is intended to fund the organization's program service activities and to secure future growth. The permanent endowment's principal is held for investment and only the earnings are disbursed to fund activities upon appropriation by Covenant House's board of directors.
FIN 48 Footnote Part X Covenant House follows guidance that established criterion that an individual tax position must meet for some or all of the benefits of that position to be recognized in an entity's financial statements. This standard provides that the tax effects from an uncertain tax position can be recognized in the financial statements only if the position is "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained if the position were to be challenged by a taxing authority. The assessment of the tax position is based solely on the technical merits of the position, without regard to the likelihood that the tax position may be challenged. Covenant House is exempt from income tax under code section 501(c)(3), though it is subject to tax on income unrelated to its exempt purposes, unless that income is otherwise excluded under the code. The tax years ending 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 are still open to audit for both federal and state purposes. AS OF JUNE 30,2013 MANAGEMENT HAS DETERMINED THAT COVENANT HOUSE HAS NO UNCERTAIN TAX POSITIONS THAT WOULD REQUIRE RECOGNITION OR DISCLOSURE IN THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS.

Identifier Return Reference Explanation
Schedule I   Covenant House provides financial support as well as management and organiZational support for its affiliated organizations; it also conducts fundraising activities not only for its own programs, but for the programs of its affiliates. Contributions received by the Parent are generally not specifically restricted by donors to specific affiliates. Branding Dollars provided to each affiliate are monitored by Covenant House to ensure that the affiliate is using these funds to run its charitable programs. Covenant House management monitors the use of these funds by requiring each subsidiary to submit an annual budget, reforecasts, internal and external audits. Covenant House remits additional amounts to its affiliated subsidiaries to cover certain management and administrative expenses. These expenditures are not reported on Schedule I, rather they are listed as Payments to Affiliates on Part IX, Line 21 (in column C).

STATEMENT OF PROGRAM SERVICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS FORM 990, PART III, line 4d PUBLIC EDUCATION Though Covenant House is primarily known as a provider of social services for homeless and runaway young people, the agency places great importance on its role as a spokesperson for not only the youth its serves, but for all young people at risk. In addition to advocacy efforts undertaken by each of Covenant House's sites, Covenant House periodically publishes and widely disseminates books which tell the stories of the young people who come to Covenant House for help. The objective of these publications is to counteract the often negative stereotypes many people have of homeless youth and sensitize the public to the needs and aspirations of this very vulnerable segment of society. Covenant House publications provide advice to parents on how to relate to a child they believe may be thinking of running away, and options for young people whose problems at home may cause them to consider this alternative. This public education effort also takes the form of occasional special events, such as the November Candlelight Vigil sponsored by each Covenant House in the United States and Canada. The purpose of these Vigils is to draw media coverage and public attention to the plight of homeless and at risk youth and suggest ways in which these young people can be helped. Covenant House sites also hold seminars on subjects of concern to social service professionals and young people themselves, such as the Youth Conventions which Covenant House sponsors. COMMUNITY SERVICE CENTERS The goals of the Community Service Centers are twofold: first, the Centers provide follow-up and aftercare for graduates from the crisis shelters and Rights of Passage Program who may need support and continuing contact with Covenant House staff now that they are on their own. Second, the Centers offer preventive services targeted toward youth at risk before they leave home. Covenant House staff work in the communities from which our residents have traditionally come, in order to intervene before there is a family breakdown. During fiscal year 2013, 17,370 youth were served at Covenant House Community Service Centers. Among the array of services utilized by the youth were counseling, educational and vocational services, tutoring, and parenting skills training. Website Covenant House's website can be reached at http://www.covenanthouse.org. The site contains extensive materials prepared especially for young people at risk, as well as advice for parents and others professionally involved in the care of young people. The site also contains information about Covenant House sites, programs and related activities including its work as a child advocate, and employment opportunities with the agency. The website accepts donations via credit card. OUTREACH The various Covenant House Outreach programs utilize several different methods to locate and serve street youth. In some cities, Covenant House Outreach Vans cruise the street each night until the early hours of the morning. In others, teams of Outreach counselors and volunteers conduct outreach on foot or bicycle. The priority is to locate and serve the youth on the street. While the approaches may vary, some elements are common to all. All outreach workers are equipped with sandwiches, hot chocolate or other beverages, information, first aid kits, and most importantly, hope. Outreach workers typically contact a kid more than once, over many nights, working to earn their confidence and trust. It may be weeks or months before a young person does more than take a sandwich and disappear back into the night. The key is that they know who the outreach workers are, and know they are out there if the young people need them. During fiscal year 2013 Covenant House Outreach staff worked with 28,221 youth on the street. MOTHER/CHILD Being a mother is a monumental task when you are still a teenager yourself and are overwhelmed by the responsibility. Often, the teenage mothers who come to Covenant House have been thrown out of their own homes and find themselves on the streets, with no job, no money and nowhere to turn. Worse yet, they often have no idea how to be a good parent. The Covenant House staff and volunteers are the role models who teach the young mothers how to care for their children. They provide them with a safe, stable place to stay where they can plan for their future as well as learn vital parenting skills. During fiscal year 2013, Covenant House shelter programs provided services to 912 young mothers and their 946 babies. NINELINE Nearly 6,035 times last year, homeless youth, runaways and others in crisis across America reached the Covenant House Nineline; that's nearly 23 crisis calls a day during Nineline's hours of operation (4-8 p.m.). Nineline help is free to anyone who dials 1-800-999-9999. Each of those calls is answered by a Nineline staff member or volunteer who is trained to respond to topics such as homelessness, child abuse, suicide, human trafficking, depression, or mental illness and is ready to offer support, assistance, conference calls, and referrals. Nineline receives calls related to those topics and many others. About 39 calls a month come from parents, guardians, or relatives looking for their children or young family members. Youth call from schools, the street, bus stops, train stations, malls, home, and friends' houses. Whoever they are and from wherever they call, Nineline offers help - a conference call with a local social service agency, directions to the nearest shelter, arrangements to get transportation home, or someone who can listen to a problem they're afraid to tell anyone they know. The Nineline database contains over 30,000 agencies nationwide, SO THE STAFF CAN LOCATE HELP FOR YOUTH ANYWHERE. AND THEY DO...EVERYDAY. MEDICAL SERVICES In fiscal year 2013, 11,177 Covenant House youth received full health assessments, physical exams and medical treatment. The youth are served by doctors, nurses, physician assistants and other health professionals who are either Covenant House staff or staff from local teaching hospitals with whom Covenant House has cooperative agreements. All are experts in the special medical needs of adolescents and young adults. In addition to services related to physical health, youth are also provided with psychiatric services. A small but significant number of the 18 to 21 year old residents in our Crisis Centers are coping with serious mental health problems that require a range of psychiatric services and referral agencies that provide housing for the mentally ill. provided with psychiatric services. A small but significant number of the 18 to 21 year old residents in our Crisis Centers are coping with serious mental health problems that require a range of psychiatric services and referral agencies that provide housing for the mentally ill. CHILD PROTECTION SERVICES COVENANT HOUSE INTERNATIONAL ("CHI") RECOGNIZES THAT SAFETY IS A KEY COMPONENT IN A THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY AND FOUNDATIONAL TO SOCIAL WORK PRACTICE. IN RESPONSE TO THE SAFETY NEEDS OF OUR YOUTH, CHI HAS ESTABLISHED A CHILD PROTECTION COMMITTEE CHARGED WITH CREATING A COMMON CORE OF SAFETY PRACTICES DESIGNED TO REDUCE RISK. THE COMMITTEE PROCESS IS DRIVEN BY THE NEEDS OF THE YOUTH WE SERVE, OUR MISSION, AND OUR PROGRAMS. THE SAFETY MODEL'S CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK VIEWS RISK MANAGEMENT AS AN INTERACTION AMONG SPECIFIC SAFETY CONCERNS, THE VULNERABILITIES OF AT-RISK YOUTH, AND THE ADMINISTRATION'S CAPACITY TO SHELTER AND PROTECT YOUTH PROACTIVELY AND RESPOND TO INCIDENTS QUICKLY. THE CHILD PROTECTION SYSTEM IS AN ARTICULATION THAT WE WILL SERVE YOUTH IN A SECURE ENVIRONMENT AND THAT WE WILL HOLD OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR SAFETY. YOUTH COME TO US IN STATES OF CRISIS AND PROVIDING THEM WITH A SAFE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH TO HEAL IS A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF OUR RESPONSE TO TRAUMA AND AN ESSENTIAL PRACTICE IN OUR FIELD. In addition, CHI is accredited by Praesidium, a national leader in abuse risk management.
