Guatemala
On January 16, 2009, Casa Alianza Guatemala declared a financial crisis, ceased operations, and shut down. Prior to closing, Casa Alianza Guatemala was the largest service provider to homeless youth in Guatemala, serving nearly 150 children each night in its residential program and having one of the region's strongest legal support programs for disenfranchised youth. It appears, however, that Covenant House has sponsored a new organization in Guatemala, however - Asociacion La Alianza - which is in the process of relaunching activities based out of Casa Alianza Guatemala's former facilities. The primary activities of the new organization seem to be focused on fighting the crime of human trafficking via victim protection (residential program).
