Covenant House New York

2019 ATE Grantee Covenant House

Covenant House New York (CHNY) helps young people in need find safety and refuge from the dangers of living on the streets through compassion, unconditional love and absolute respect. For over 47 years, CHNY has been a leader in providing residential services to vulnerable homeless, runaway, and exploited youth. CHNY will implement the Family and Food Matters to Pregnant Women (FFM-PW) educational program at a New York City location. The FFM-PW program is designed to educate mothers about appropriate nutrient-dense foods for themselves in order to maximize the development of their baby, as well as, teach strategies for coping with pregnancy, motherhood and economic hardship. The Covenant House implementation will assess the benefits of applying the FFM-PW program to their population of mothers in need.
