The Ministry of Housing and Municipalities will host a public town hall meeting at St. Paul AME Church Centennial Hall on Court Street in Hamilton on August 20 to engage with the public on the proposed Phase 2 affordable housing projects and seek community feedback.
The meeting forms part of the Government’s ongoing commitment to transparency, community engagement, and the delivery of sustainable housing solutions to meet Bermuda’s growing housing needs.
During the session, Ministry representatives and technical officers will provide an overview of the proposed Bermuda Housing Corporation (BHC) and Bermuda Land Management Corporation (BLMC) site developments contemplated for:
- 13 Ewing Street, City of Hamilton
- Harborview, St. David’s
- Ocean View, Warwick
- Tudor Hill, Southampton
- Maria Hill, Sandys
Minister of Housing and Municipalities, the Hon. Zane DeSilva, JP, MP, explained, “Affordable housing remains a priority for this Government, and we recognise that successful housing developments require meaningful engagement with the communities they will serve. This community meeting provides an important opportunity to share information about the proposed Phase 2 projects, answer questions, and hear directly from residents and stakeholders as the proposals continue to be developed. We want to ensure that communities are kept informed and have an opportunity to contribute as we work to increase the supply of quality, affordable housing across Bermuda.”
The meeting will run from 6:00 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. and will feature a presentation followed by a question-and-answer session regarding the proposed Phase 2 affordable housing projects.
The Ministry encourages residents of the communities where developments are proposed, neighbouring areas, and all interested members of the public to attend this important discussion and contribute to the future of affordable housing in Bermuda.
