Have you signed up to change young lives yet? All you have to do to make a meaningful difference for LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness is move your body--dancing! singing! running! walking! playing!-- for 40 minutes a day for one week. Strides for Pride is an annual, week-long campaign during Pride month to acknowledge the hardships faced by LGBTQ+ youth experiencing homelessness--who are 120% more likely to experience homelessness than their heterosexual peers--and to fundraise in support of their unique needs. Joining is simple: just sign up and encourage your loved ones to support you with a donation as you move for 40 minutes a day (because 40% of youth experiencing homelessness identify as LGBTQ+) every day from June 24th-30th. All funds raised will go directly to providing food, shelter, clothing, healthcare, education and more to young people in need. Love is love, move with the cov! Learn more at www.covenanthouseevents.org/event/strides.

At Covenant House California, we strive every day to ensure that every young person in California has access to shelter, food, education, and most importantly, love. We are so grateful to partners like Bank of America who have joined us in this endeavor, supporting our programs—from street outreach to housing to our full continuum of wrap around care—with a meaningful commitment to youth through both funding and volunteerism. (Pictured here: two BofA volunteers helping out at the Cov!) Today, we are thrilled to share that Bank of America has selected us as a recipient of its to help support our critical work in preventing and ending homelessness for young people in LA. We are grateful for this meaningful investment in our work!

Love is love, move with the Cov! Strides for Pride is taking place June 24-30--are you ready?

Strides for Pride is a week-long challenge to fundraise and log 40 minutes of activity per day in support of LGBTQ+ youth overcoming homelessness at Covenant House California. Why 40? Because 40% of all young people facing homelessness in the U.S. identify as LGBTQ+. In fact, LGBTQ+ youth are more than twice as likely to experience homelessness than their non LGBTQ+ peers. When you sign up to participate in Strides for Pride, you're providing LGBTQ+ youth facing homelessness in California with access to shelter, safe spaces, nourishing food, everyday essentials, case management, education and job support, and most importantly,hope.

Move with us this Pride month to remind LGBTQ+ youth that at the Cov, love is love! Visit www.covenanthouseevents.org/event/strides to register today!

CHC Santa Clara was recently blessed by the Housing Industry Foundation who partnered with Equity Residential & BluSky to donate time, materials, and expertise to renovate our home. The work provided by everyone here beautified our common spaces, and restored 4 bedrooms, allowing 7 more young people to have a roof over their heads. We are beyond grateful for this experience, partnership, and our dignified “new” home!
