Services are offered to all youth who voluntarily seek help, with priority of concern and commitment to those for whom there are no other available services. CHM makes every effort to reunite youth with their families whenever possible, if it is in the best interest of the youth. Collaboration with community agencies and organizations as well as participation in community efforts to improve the condition of families and children in another targeted area in which attention is focused. In addition, Covenant House Michigan(CHM) advocates with and on behalf of youth to raise awareness in the community about the issues of youth homelessness. Above all else, our mission is based on faith and the belief that all youth have a right to love, respect and genuine concern, which is the driving force for all CHM services. false false 1338255 126149 0 Shelter and Crisis Care: Covenant House Michigan works to meet the short and long-term needs of youth who are homeless through the provision of food, shelter, clothing, counseling, education, life skills and health (physical, mental and dental).Those services which cannot be offered on-site are referred to appropriate professionals in the community, so that basic necessities are met prior to assisting youth with eliminating the barriers that precipitated their homelessness. Our shelter, (Caritas Center) is open 365 days a year, 7 days a week and 24 hours a day and accepts any youth who is in need of shelter between the ages of 18-22. In operation since February 2000, Covenant House Caritas Center has provided shelter and crisis management assistance to over 4,000 youth. In Fiscal Year 2014, Covenant House Michigan's Caritas Center provided services to 394 youth. They were assisted with job placement (127); enrolling in educational programs (118); and placement in job training programs (44). The Total Me Life Skills curriculum assisted these youth in preparing for adulthood and they are on their way to becoming productive members of society. 1101274 80393 0 Rights of Passage: Due to the need to provide homeless youth with residential services beyond emergency shelter, Covenant House Michigan opened the Rights of Passage program (ROP) in October 2000. ROP provides transitional housing and supportive services up to two years for youth 18-22 years of age who demonstrate the desire to turn their lives around and make a transition from street life to productive adulthood and independent living. This program allows youth from the shelter who demonstrate the willingness to make a positive change in their lives and who have no other options for permanent housing to work toward their short and long term goals in a supportive and planned manner. In Fiscal Year 2014, Covenant House Michigan's Rights of Passage Center provided services to 56 youth. They were assisted with job placement and retention (39); enrolling in educational programs including those at the college level (14); placement in job training programs (17); staff mentoring and support services (56); and services that prepared them for life after Covenant House. 305904 10310 0 Outreach: With thousands of homeless youth on the streets in Michigan, Covenant House Michigan takes a proactive approach to find and help them through the Street Outreach program. These youth are often found in abandoned houses, cars and on street corners where they are usually engaged in illegal activities in order to survive. These youth often face unsanitary living conditions, violence, drugs and sexual abuse and exploitation. They lack basic needs such as food, clothing, and medical and mental health attention. The CHM Outreach Team canvasses the streets of metro Detroit, 7 days a week, to provide youth with prevention services, information about CHM's housing and education programs as well as counseling, food and clean clothes. Immediate shelter is provided if youth are ready to leave the streets. For those youth who are younger than the youth serviced at CHM's Caritas Center or who have children, the Outreach Team also provides assistance with getting them in a shelter that will meet their needs. In Fiscal Year 2014, the Outreach Team had contact with 5,604 youth. Of these youth, 209 were placed in the Caritas Center; 383 were placed in family shelters; 107 were placed in shelters for youth under the age of 18; 398 were assisted with food vouchers; 4261 were provided with counseling; 71 were reunited with their families; 241 were assisted in returning to school; 21 were assisted with getting into a domestic violence shelter; 43 were assisted with getting into permanent housing and 87 were assisted with filling out job applications and provided with appropriate clothing for job interview. The remaining youth were given Outreach cards and instructed to call if they or other youth they knew were ever in need of Covenant House Michigan services. 295688 Public Education and Advocacy 282692 Schools 578380 0 1066812 3323813 true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true false true false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false false false false false true false false false false true false false false true 6 0 true 179 true false false false false false true true false false false false X 17 17 false false false false false true false true true false false true true true true true true true true false MI X X DEBI PIONTKOWSKI 3134632000 2959 MARTIN LUTHER KING JR BLVD Detroit MI 48208 Williams Matthews thru 52014 Chairperson 1.0 X Lawrence Givens Vice-Chairperson 1.0 X Jane Abraham Thru 122013 Director 1.0 X Sr Xavier Ballance DC Director 1.0 X Michael Bishop Director 1.0 X Chelsea Carballo Director 1.0 X Joseph Crawford Director 1.0 X Jeffrey Jorissen Thru 122013 Director 1.0 X Amyre Makupson Thru 122013 Director 1.0 X Kimberly Comer Mulqueen Director 1.0 X Leslie Murphy Director 1.0 X Michael Sarafa Director 1.0 X David Senatore Director 1.0 X Ravinder Shahani Director 1.0 X Richard Thompson Director 1.0 X Daniel Weingartz Director 1.0 X John Axe Director 1.0 X Thomas Baird Director 1.0 X Teresa Weatherall Neal Director 1.0 X Peter Rosenfeld Director 1.0 X Leslie Murphy as of 062014 chairperson 1.0 X 0 0 0 Kevin Ryan President, CH International 1.0 35.0 X 0 182438 28318 Gerald Piro as of 022014 Executive Director 40.0 X Sam G Joseph thru 122013 Executive Director 40.0 X 319268 60000 57906 Trisha Wolfe Director of Finance 40.0 X 64561 10697 Cynthia Adams Associate Executive Director 40.0 X 104029 14829 Stanley Childress thru 122013 Director, Educational Services 40.0 X 138838 0 30215 626696 242438 141965 3 false true false Securitas Security Services PO Box 403412 ATLANTA GA 30384 Guard Services 109755 1 24667 195260 972000 582469 1473415 70087 3247811 RENT FROM ACADEMIES 531120 949322 949322 ACADEMY PUBLIC RELATIONS 561000 17490 17490 JOB TRAINING-ACADEMY HOUSEKEEPING 561700 100000 100000 1066812 38106 38106 0 0 0 0 0 0 60575 195260 52993 7582 7582 0 0 MISCELLANEOUS 900099 5360 5360 5360 4365671 1066812 51048 0 216852 216852 0 0 244288 124984 102640 16664 0 1722286 1545919 87940 88427 69084 62004 3530 3550 298706 268094 15264 15348 169396 144767 15608 9021 0 37165 28538 5945 2682 41576 0 41576 0 18000 9000 9000 0 0 107755 85543 14547 7665 24994 18988 32 5974 100897 90998 5798 4101 11277 6708 2961 1608 0 135092 131369 2718 1005 59580 55780 2406 1394 0 2685 2019 314 352 235 225 5 5 0 254392 250370 2022 2000 19785 19413 186 186 SECURITY SERVICES 109755 108904 851 REPAIR & MAINTENANCE - PPE 43343 39018 4325 MISCELLANEOUS 145754 114320 25116 6318 3832897 3323813 333784 175300 3500 3500 2576470 2021570 267084 273575 770061 5309 0 0 0 0 0 0 1722 647 441295 220059 7532093 2192437 4540080 5339656 136507 1410540 0 0 0 0 0 0 159531 1466 8896250 9276322 352802 237406 0 0 23275 139707 0 0 0 0 0 0 14470 3049 0 0 144667 0 535214 380162 X 8202202 8739195 158834 156965 0 0 8361036 8896160 8896250 9276322 532774 2350 X false true X true true true X 3727843 3300315 3655041 3908868 3247811 17839878 0 0 3727843 3300315 3655041 3908868 3247811 17839878 0 17839878 25643 16538 21128 27204 38106 128619 0 32060 23402 62145 83742 65935 267284 18235781 3613066 0.97829 0.98350 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED false false false false false false true 18000 false false 18000 false Part II-B, line 1g Covenant House Michigan (CHM) has contracted with a governmental consulting firm to represent CHMs interest in government relations matters.

In an effort to change this, CHM initiated and oversaw the creation of public school academies within the Detroit Public School district. The schools provide the opportunity for homeless and at-risk youth, agesT 16-22, to receive their high school diploma by using educational programs and initiatives that are more effective than traditional curricula at reaching the specific population. The schools' educational model offers flexible hours, a year round schedule and an open intake policy. This permits students to work four to eight hours a day at their own pace. Their lessons, which take place in computer labs, include video and traditional classroom instruction from qualified teachers. The school also provides students with emotional and social support, essential academic and life skills, and job readiness training. Public Education Our goal is to inform and educate the public on how to identify potential "runaway" and "throwaway" adolescents, the public and private resources available to help such adolescents before they leave home, and the public support services available to these families to improve the home environment.
