Host Janice Erlbaum says, “When I was a fifteen-year-old runaway, Covenant House saved my life. Because Covenant House was there for me, I never had to spend a single night on the streets. Twenty years later, I'm coming together with this amazing group of authors - all of whom have had their own ‘halfway homeless’ experiences of living on the margins - to help make sure that this generation of kids has access to the same lifesaving services I got. Please join us on Tuesday, May 9, and add your support.”

There are an estimated 12,500 kids in New York sleeping in shelters every night. Covenant House NY serves more than 5,000 homeless youth every year.
