#Barbados, September 15, 2023 – As homelessness continues to present as a issue across the region, the Barbados Alliance to End Homelessness (BAEH)  continues to up its efforts to quell the issue; Kemar Saffrey, the President and Founder, as reported by Barbados Today, is traveling to Antigua and Barbuda shortly to assess homelessness.

The reports say Saffrey is set to meet with government and key officials while in the country to have talks on this matter, as Antigua and Barbuda continue to search for ways to tackle homelessness in select areas of the island.

Also, Saffrey expressed that he will be open to share advice requested by regional counterparts to help them come up with and implement measures to aid in fighting homelessness affecting them.

In continuation, the BAEH founder expressed joy in knowing that other Caribbean nations are taking interest in what the organization does in Barbados.

“They have seen the progress and the success that we have had here. They have seen the level to which we have brought homelessness under control in Barbados and I am happy that myself and my team can be looked at as professionals within the industry and we are able to connect with other Caribbean countries now to offer our best practices as well, seeing that in the Caribbean, we are limited based on the expertise that is available to address homelessness in the region,” he added.

He also revealed he is communicating  with Trinidad and Tobago officials to assess their homelessness situation.
