Sister Islands Affordable Housing Development Corporation
The cost of real estate has increased exponentially in the last two years. As a result of this, the gap between Caymanians and their ability to purchase affordable land lots and homes has widened.
The Cayman Islands Government is committed to providing opportunities for Caymanians to obtain adequate and affordable housing in the Sister Islands in an effort to close this gap. As such, the Ministry responsible for District Administration along with the Sister Islands Affordable Housing Development (SIAHD) Board, work collaboratively to identify, acquire and develop Crown land into affordable housing developments.
The Sister Islands Affordable Housing Development Corporation facilitates the affordable housing programme to address the issues of property ownership for Caymanians in the Sister Islands.
