Empathy in Action: How Covenant House Texas Inspires Change and Honors the Homeless in Rain, Shine, or Tornado
In this episode of Raise Nation Radio, we welcome Tracie James, an inspiring leader at Covenant House Texas, whose work directly supports youth experiencing homelessness in Houston. Through essential fundraising events, Tracy helps drive resources to fulfill Covenant House’s mission, serving young people, ages 18-24, who are at critical risk of homelessness and poverty. Tracy shares her personal journey and the powerful events that make Covenant House’s mission possible, like the transformative “Sleep Out,” which invites participants to experience a night outdoors in solidarity with homeless youth.
We dive deep into the staggering statistics around youth homelessness, the risks of cyclical poverty, and how Covenant House Texas offers shelter, support, and resources, giving these young people hope for a brighter future. Tracy’s story, the organization’s work, and the community support around them highlight the incredible resilience of Houston’s youth and the ongoing need for compassionate, community-driven action.
“It’s heartbreaking that youth, barely adults, face the streets. Our mission is to provide shelter, support, and a future they deserve.”
