Room for a Student Local Authority Tenancies Scheme is a government initiative where local authority tenants are permitted to let out a room or rooms in their homes to third level students with the prior permission of the local authority, as the landlord.
Its main purpose is to improve the access and quality of Local Authority Services for people from disadvantaged communities. It helps to develop socially inclusive policies and projects across the range of local authority services in Galway.
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.
