Alternatives for Girls shelter provides care for girls and young women aged 15-24 years old. What makes our shelter unique is that we help individuals in need of help, who are not in the foster care system and are too young to be placed in a city shelter, and/or may have children of their own up to age 5. An emergency stay averages between 2 to 3 weeks, and as soon as a homeless young woman enters our shelter, we work with her to evaluate her needs and develop an individualized plan with clear goals.
Covenant House Michigan provides youth experiencing homelessness with shelter, educational, and vocational programs, along with a wide array of wraparound services.

Our doors are open 24/7 in Detroit and Grand Rapids with programs designed to empower young people to rise and overcome adversity, today and in the future.
