Galway City Council Social Work is a consent based, voluntary service. We empower people to solve issues in their everyday lives, identify and understand sources of stress or difficulty, develop coping skills, and find solutions to their problems.
Under this scheme, you can apply to Galway City Council to buy your local authority house. If approved, you must continue to live in the house for as long as you own it. You will get a discount on the price of the house based on your income.
Once a housing need has been established Galway City Council will endeavour to meet this need through the delivery of the Traveller Accommodation Plan and in accordance with the Scheme of Letting Priorities.
Galway City Council is seeking to increase the number of Affordable and Social housing units through various delivery mechanisms, including the acquisition of turnkey units on greenfield/brownfield and/or unfinished housing development sites which are zoned residential.
Healthy Galway City is part of the Healthy Ireland Framework. Healthy Ireland is a government-led initiative aimed at improving the health and wellbeing of everyone living in Ireland.
