Migrant shelters
Migrant shelters in Mexico are mainly non-profits and faith based '''. Migrant shelters respond to migrants' need for safety and resources. They are built along migrant routes so that people can stop a while and recuperate. These shelters provide temporary housing and services such as access to food, clothing, and the internet'''

'''Migrant shelters also serve as housing for migrants who are applying for refugee status in Mexico. The Mexican Commission for Refugee Assistance used to take 45 business days to process submitted applications cite. This agency has been and still is understaffed in comparison to the large number of migrants. So COMAR has struggled to keep up with the processing of applications, leading to growing numbers of migrants seeking shelter '''.

Different shelters offer different services and assume different approaches to their work with migrants '''. There are shelters that focus on providing a space to rest and recharge for the journey; others that organize travel groups and share information about the safest routes; and others that discourage their clients from continuing their journey. Smugglers, coyotes, and cartel members are aware of the locations of the shelters so staying in them can become a risk of further victimization for some migrants .'''

'''Most migrant shelters in Mexico are faith-based organizations. Some studies show many migrants feel more comfortable in shelters that are faith-based and which provide spiritual counseling .'''
