Last night, our youth had an amazing night out at Minute Maid Park! A massive THANK YOU to the Houston Astros and Josh and Maria Hader for creating such a memorable night for these young people as they work towards independence. 

A hidden part of our mission is to provide medical care for the youth we serve, many of whom have not had proper access to physicians and health services throughout their lives. Our medical clinic and staff do more than just keep our youth healthy; they bridge the gaps in the health care of these young people.

Our mission has been and continues to be to create a safe haven for those who need it most in our community. As we look back on our history, we’re reminded of the good work we’ve done and why it’s so important to continue the Covenant House Texas.  #Giveback #endyouthhomelessness
