Passage House
Passage House, which is located in a residential neighborhood on the east side of Anchorage, is Covenant House Alaska’s (CHA) transitional living program for young women who are pregnant or parenting.

Our program provides young mothers and their children with a place to live for up to 18 months, while they gain the necessary skills and resources to become productive, successful, independent adults who can care for themselves and their families.

While at Passage House, young mothers have access to services including:

  • Job readiness skills and employment support
  • Life skills development
  • Individualized case management
  • Positive parenting skills
  • Child development
  • Relationship/couples education and counseling
  • Mentor program
  • Coordination with, and referral to, community providers
  • 24-hour support staff
  • Workshops on topics including planning for your new home, money management, child development, baby-proofing the home, discipline techniques, planning educational and occupational goals, home preparedness and safety, planning nutritious meals, proper food storage and safe food handling, and communication with family and friends
  • After-care to ensure home stability and continued pursuit of goals
