VG resident Sydney Wheatley receives new home for Christmas
This latest handover is part of the Ministry of Health and Social Development’s Housing Recovery Assistance Programme.
According to a press release from the Government Information Service (GIS) on December 22, 2023, Mr Wheatley is one of three sister island residents who have received their new home in the past three months under the programme.
Minister for Health and Social Development Honourable Vincent O. Wheatley (R9) stated that the handover on Virgin Gorda highlights the Ministry’s dedicated work in ensuring residents on the Sister Islands get the help they need.
Honourable Wheatley said, “I must thank the contractor, my team at the Ministry. For us, this is another project that has been well-executed in a timely fashion. We've been doing these social homes all over the Territory and we intend to continue doing them. So, I am pleased we can hand over yet another house for 2023.”
'Grateful' Wheatley
Meanwhile, Mr. Sydney Wheatley said he was grateful for the home and the assistance provided to him by the Ministry of Health and Social Development.
In addition, the contractors selected to build the house, K&C Construction, noted that their firm was grateful for the opportunity to construct the house and give the beneficiary a new place to rest just in time for the festive season.
Since the inception of the Housing Recovery Assistance programme after the 2017 hurricanes, more than 25 homes have been built and over 200 repaired.

Like many are struggling. Things have changed fast, and not for the better. Building homes for people is a good thing but it’s not a good sign at all.
PEOPLE IN THE BVI WE ARE ON OUR OWN THE MINISTERS ARE ALL SELF CENTERED FOR THEMSELVES.
WAKE UP THE GOVERNMENT IS IN NETURAL IT IS ONLY THE BUSINESS THAT EMPLOY THE MAJORITY OF THE PEOPLE ARE HURTING. AND THE PREMIER HAS HIS HEAD IN THE SAND.
