Housing and rural revitalization in Galicia

Overview

Efforts to address housing shortages and rural depopulation in Galicia are being pursued through both private initiatives and municipal government programs.

Private firm Retorna Galicia Capital has launched a project to rehabilitate approximately 6,000 homes over seven years to provide affordable housing for families in rural areas. The company focuses on identifying and managing abandoned heritage in municipalities such as Sober and San Román de Xunqueira de Ambía.

Concurrently, regional data shows significant demand for public housing, with 1,179 applicants registered in the Arousa region, particularly in Vilagarcía and Sanxenxo. In Vigo, the City Council is implementing a plan to mobilize roughly 13,000 vacant units identified via water consumption statistics. This municipal program includes a 700,000 euro budget to incentivize owners to cede properties for rental management, alongside subsidies of up to 20,200 euros for repairs and energy efficiency.
