Government Aim To Create Affordable Housing Units

In providing an update on housing initiatives earlier this month, Minister of Housing and Municipalities Zane DeSilva had mentioned some of the plans to create affordable housing saying that “The goal of Phase One is to deliver approximately 310 affordable housing units, including emergency and supported housing, through a combination of new construction and the activation of existing underutilised homes

Speaking at that time he said, “The initial stage of Phase One is expected to deliver over 200 affordable homes across five sites, including housing for families and seniors:

• Victoria Place, Sandys – 36 affordable units
• Albert Row, Sandys – 24 affordable units
• Tommy Fox Road, St. David’s – 24 affordable units
• Dr. Cann Park II, Southampton – 110 seniors’ units
• Channel House, St. David’s – refitted to provide 30 to 50 rooms for senior residents

The government is currently running a consultation on the Bermuda Affordable Housing Strategy 2025–2035, saying “This consultation draft sets out a comprehensive, ten-year framework to address Bermuda’s growing housing challenges, including rising costs, limited supply, and increasing demand across all income levels.
