Update Bolo Minister Shows Up Video Happening Now Man Staging “Sleep in” Protest In Dutch St Maarten Government Administration Building
Homelessness in St. Maarten Since Hurricane Irma
Hurricane Irma devastated St. Maarten in September 2017. With winds over 180 mph, it flattened homes, destroyed infrastructure, and displaced thousands.
Nearly eight years later, hundreds remain homeless, living in unstable shelters, abandoned buildings, or on the streets.
These individuals face daily struggles, relying on aid that often falls short.
Government response started quickly but stalled over time. Initial shelters provided temporary relief, yet rebuilding efforts slowed due to funding issues and bureaucratic delays.

Nonprofits stepped in, filling critical gaps. They distributed food, clothing, and temporary housing, yet long-term solutions remain elusive.

Meanwhile, rent prices surged, pushing even more residents into homelessness.
Tourism, the island’s economic engine, rebounded faster than the housing sector. Hotels reopened, but local neighborhoods lagged behind.

Many homes still bear hurricane scars, roofs unrepaired and walls crumbling. Some residents gave up hope and left the island,
while others stayed, fighting to survive in harsh conditions.

Everyday life for the homeless in St. Maarten is a battle.
Access to water, sanitation, and healthcare remains limited. Despite this, community support networks grew stronger.
Neighbors shared what little they had. Volunteers organized feeding programs.
Small but determined grassroots movements called for housing reforms and better government accountability.

The island cannot wait for another storm to act. Leaders must prioritize the needs of the vulnerable now.
Hurricane Irma’s destruction did not end with the winds—it continues through every person still without a home.

The people of St. Maarten show resilience, but they need resources and action to fully recover.

Only through coordinated, persistent efforts can homelessness truly end.
