Banks Called to Help Build Homes

Bermuda’s housing minister is rallying banks to join forces in tackling the island’s housing crisis, accusing them of profiting while residents struggle — and announcing three banks already on board for a new initiative. With over $114 million in financing secured for the first phase of an affordable housing program, the government aims to rapidly expand housing inventory across the island, including new developments in Southampton and Dockyard, plus conversions of existing buildings. While finalizing legal and financial details, the ministry promises transparency and value for the public, with ground-breaking expected soon. The minister also addressed skeptical residents in St. David’s, assuring them their concerns are being heard — and that a new supermarket is coming to the area.
