Drop-In Centre

The Drop-In Centre is a space for youth, age 16–24, experiencing homelessness, to access a wide range of resources and connect with the Covenant House Vancouver team.

At our Drop-In Centre, youth receive:

  • Food, clothing, and hygiene supplies
  • Use of our message board, long-distance phone plan, and a mailing address
  • Access to a shower, laundry facilities, and the clothing room
  • Access to Covey’s Cupboard (a pantry with items youth can take away)
  • Recreational opportunities, including yoga, soccer, hockey, basketball and baseball
  • Connections to youth workers and a peer support worker for support, counselling, and personal planning
  • Access to an in-house substance use counsellor and programs focused on support and recovery
  • Appointments with mental health clinicians and psychiatrists
  • Help from a housing support worker and independent living start-up kits
  • Referrals to other social services
  • Help with finding employment and referrals to job centres and training programs

The Drop-In Centre is open seven days a week to support youth in need. The Front Desk (offers snacks and some immediate needs) from 8am–12am.
