Covenant House New Jersey has received over $4 million in Continuum of Care funding since 2020 and has leveraged additional federal grants from the Department of Justice and Department of Health and Human Services to expand its services, including transitional housing for victims of human trafficking and support for its Raphael's Life House maternity program. The organization has also been awarded sub-grants through the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) Formula Grant Program to enhance its emergency shelters and transitional housing facilities in Newark and Atlantic City.
