Governor Bryan Leads Unprecedented Push for Affordable Homeownership in the U.S. Virgin Islands - Government of the United States Virgin Islands Governor Bryan Leads Unprecedented Push for Affordable Homeownership in the U.S. Virgin Islands - Government of the United States Virgin Islands Government of the United States Virgin Islands Home Governor Albert Bryan Jr Pressroom Executive Orders The Cabinet Government of the United States Virgin Islands Home Governor Albert Bryan Jr Pressroom Executive Orders The Cabinet © 2026 Government of the United States Virgin Islands Governor Bryan Leads Unprecedented Push for Affordable Homeownership in the U.S. Virgin Islands Search Latest Comments No comments to show. July 17 Governor Albert Bryan Jr and Virgin Islands Economic Development Authority CEO Wayne Biggs Jr. Announce the VI Slice Moderate-Income Homeownership Program in October 2022 Under the determined leadership of Governor Albert Bryan Jr., the Virgin Islands government today announced remarkable advancements under the VI Slice Moderate-Income Homeownership Program. This pioneering initiative underscores the Bryan-Roach Administration’s unwavering commitment to dismantling barriers to homeownership and fostering long-term economic stability among Virgin Islanders. Since its inception, the VI Slice Moderate-Income Homeownership Program has empowered 20 families with the tools to purchase their first homes by providing $1.87 million in grants on top of approximately $5.87 million in mortgage loans made by local participating lenders to assist those families in closing the affordability gap between the amount of their approved mortgages and the actual cost of their first home. These measures are crucial steps toward rectifying the disparities in housing access within the community. “Today, we celebrate the tangible results of the VI Slice Moderate-Income Homeownership Program. It is a testament to our dedication to transforming the lives of Virgin Island families,” Governor Bryan enthused. “This initiative is more than a program; it’s a promise to our citizens that we will fight for their right to own a home and secure their financial future.” Governor Bryan has consistently prioritized homeownership as a critical driver of community vitality and individual prosperity. “The path to homeownership is fraught with challenges, but we are clearing the way, ensuring that the dream of owning a home is not a privilege for the few but a reality for the many,” the governor asserted. The momentum continues with four additional applicants nearing the closing phase, signaling sustained interest and need for such transformative programs. Building upon this foundation, the Governor is also championing the “Own a Lot, Build a Home” initiative. This program, spearheaded by the U.S. Virgin Islands Office of Disaster Recovery, extends another lifeline to families striving to construct their personalized, resilient homes on government-subsidized land. “The ‘Own a Lot, Build a Home’ initiative is a strategic expansion of our efforts to put homeownership within reach of every Virgin Islander. It’s about empowerment, sustainability, and resilience,” Governor Bryan explained. This initiative not only promises affordable options but also supports families in building homes designed to withstand the challenges posed by climate change. Together, the VI Slice and “Own a Lot, Build a Home” programs illustrate the Bryan-Roach Administration’s proactive agenda to fortify the economic and social fabric of the Virgin Islands through robust, accessible homeownership solutions. Governor Bryan urges all eligible citizens to seize these opportunities to lay down roots and build secure futures.
