Ministry of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure Celebrates Fifth Affordable Home Handover Under New Administration

The National Housing and Development Trust (NHDT), in partnership with the Ministry of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure (PLAHI), proudly handed over keys to new homeowner Ms. Shanique Lettman during a brief ceremony held at the NHDT office this morning, October 10th, 2025.

Ms. Lettman will take up residence in her new home located at Flamingo Point, North Side — an approximately 1,181 sq. ft., three-bedroom house featuring a modern aesthetic.

Present at the handover were Acting Minister for Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, Hon. Nickolas DaCosta, and NHDT Board Chairperson, Mr. Mark Scotland. Minister Hon. Johany “Jay” Ebanks also joined the occasion via phone to personally extend his congratulations to Ms. Lettman.

This handover represents the fifth successful transfer of homeownership facilitated by the NHDT since the new administration took office in May 2025—a continued demonstration of the Ministry’s commitment to improving access to affordable housing and strengthening Caymanian communities.

“Every new homeowner represents a meaningful step toward our vision of a more secure and prosperous Cayman,” said Acting Minister DaCosta. “The Ministry and NHDT will continue working together to ensure more Caymanian families have the opportunity to own a home and build a better future.”

The Ministry of Planning, Lands, Agriculture, Housing and Infrastructure, together with the National Housing and Development Trust, remains dedicated to supporting Caymanians through safe, affordable, and high-quality housing solutions across all districts.
