The Ministry will host a public town hall meeting on Tuesday [Dec 16] in Sandys to “discuss the proposed installation of modular housing units in the Boaz Island area and to gather feedback from residents.”
A Government spokesperson said, “The Ministry of Housing and Municipalities will host a public town hall meeting on Tuesday, 16 December 2025, starting at 7:00 pm at the Western Zone Community Centre, 15 Kitchener Road, Sandys, to discuss the proposed installation of modular housing units in the Boaz Island area and to gather feedback from residents.
“This engagement forms part of the Government’s commitment to open dialogue and transparency as it works to address Bermuda’s urgent affordable housing shortage.
“During the session, Ministry representatives and technical officers will provide an overview of the proposed pilot, including:
- The purpose of the modular housing initiative
- How the pilot fits into Bermuda’s long-term affordable housing strategy
- Who the units are intended to support
- Site layout, design features, and safety standards
- How tenancy, maintenance, and site management will be overseen
- The planning process, expected timelines, and opportunities for public input
“A brief presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer session, providing residents with the opportunity to speak directly with officials, raise concerns, and contribute to the ongoing planning process.”
A spokesperson said, ”We recognise that any development near a residential community must be approached with care, clarity, and respect. This town hall is a crucial opportunity for us to listen, explain the purpose of the modular housing pilot, and collaborate with the Boaz Island community as we address Bermuda’s broader housing challenges. We encourage all residents to attend, ask questions, and share their views.”
A Government spokesperson added, “The Ministry encourages residents of Boaz Island, neighbouring communities, and anyone interested in the project to attend this critical public discussion.”
