Overview

  • The Xunta de Galicia formally approved the Fogar Vivo program on May 19, 2025, with an initial €5.7 million budget to improve rental affordability and availability.
  • Landlords can receive up to €11,000 for renovations, €3,000 for insurance, and an additional €2,000 for renting to vulnerable tenants, including young people and families with dependents.
  • Properties must have been vacant for at least three months and meet zoned rent caps, with rental contracts lasting a minimum of five years for individuals and seven for legal entities.
  • The program allows for 80% of renovation subsidies to be paid in advance, with the balance disbursed after certification of completed work.
  • Applications will open in summer 2025 on a first-come, first-served basis, with the possibility of additional funding if demand exceeds the current budget.
