Overview

  • The Diario Oficial de Galicia published the regulatory bases for the four-year Fogar Vivo program on July 10, and applications run from July 18 through October 30, 2025.
  • Subsidies offer up to €11,000 for rehabilitation works and €3,000 for rental-default insurance plus a €2,000 bonus for renting to young tenants or families with dependents.
  • Eligible homes must have been vacant for at least three months before application and be leased under accessible rates for five years for individuals or seven years for legal entities.
  • Monthly rent ceilings range from €700 in cities like A Coruña, Santiago, Vigo and Pontevedra down to €450 in the rest of Galicia to curb speculation.
  • The Xunta de Galicia aims to mobilize 1,300 vacant dwellings into the long-term rental market by 2028 through the Fogar Vivo initiative.
