Bermuda Company Pledges $250K to Fight Homelessness

When island communities come together to solve big problems, the impact can change lives forever.

Allshores Limited, a Bermuda-based insurance company, just committed $250,000 over three years to HOME, a local organization working to prevent and end homelessness across the island. The partnership launches this month with a clear mission: connect every person experiencing homelessness with shelter, healthcare, and the support they need to rebuild.

"We know the strength of our community lies in how we support one another, especially during life's most challenging moments," said Abigail Clifford, Group President and CEO of Allshores. The company recognizes that island communities face unique housing pressures, and stable housing strengthens everyone.

HOME has been tackling Bermuda's homelessness crisis since 2021, and the results speak for themselves. The organization has prevented 220 new cases of homelessness before they started, permanently housed 60 people who were living on the streets, and provided emergency winter shelter for 96 individuals. They've also delivered more than 4,000 treatment and support sessions to people working toward stability.

The organization doesn't just respond to emergencies. HOME focuses on stopping homelessness before it happens, coordinating with healthcare providers, social services, and community partners to catch people before they fall through the cracks.

The Ripple Effect

When one person finds stable housing, entire families benefit. Children can focus on school instead of survival. Adults can hold steady jobs and rebuild savings. Communities become safer and more connected when everyone has a place to call home.

Denise Carey, CEO of HOME, says partnerships like this one make all the difference. "Support from Allshores allows us to continue building awareness, strengthening coordination across service providers, and helping individuals experiencing homelessness connect with the resources they need," she explained.

The funding will support HOME's most critical work: street outreach to find people who need help, advocacy to protect housing rights, and coordination between service providers to ensure no one falls through the gaps. Every dollar goes toward building systems that prevent homelessness rather than just managing it.

For Allshores, this commitment reflects a deeper understanding of community resilience. The company serves island communities worldwide and sees firsthand how housing stability affects everything from public health to economic opportunity. Investing in solutions that work creates lasting change that benefits everyone on the island.

Sixty people who once slept rough now have permanent homes, and that number keeps growing.
