None of this would be a reality without the courage and altruism of all the volunteers that stood by our side, without the fundamental support of all our partners, public and private, who believe in our work, and without the commitment of each and every one of our collaborators who have chosen to work for a better world.Everyone’s role has been fundamental, and this essential contribution leaves an indelible impression on each and every page that marks the path of this institution in its struggle for a world without intolerance and without indifference.

Poverty, unemployment, and lack of affordable housing are commonly recognized causes of homelessness. These risk factors can be exacerbated by personal vulnerabilities such as mental and substance use disorders, trauma and violence, domestic violence, justice-system involvement, sudden serious illness, divorce, death of a partner, and disabilities.

For those with no place to go or in need of emergency shelter, REMAR BELIZE homeless shelters provide a warm, safe place for men, women, and – whenever possible – families to stay. In cities where we do not operate homeless shelters, we offer financial assistance to cover emergency overnight housing costs or refer those facing housing and food insecurity to partner programs with emergency shelter services.

Even during a pandemic, our homeless shelters evolved and innovated to serve their neighbors in need despite the ongoing challenges. Check out the internationally recognized efforts of REMAR successful efforts to keep people fed and sheltered when the public transit system was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
