The Covenant House Washington Crisis Center provides 44 beds for immediate, short-term emergency shelter to homeless single and parenting young people, age 18-24, who lack a safe place to lay their heads at night. When a young person comes to the Crisis Center, the first step is to meet their immediate needs - a warm meal, a shower, the chance to sleep and a clean change of clothes. In addition, the young people at Covenant House Washington's Crisis Center are evaluated in terms of job readiness, educational status, legal status and physical and mental health.
