How We Are Helping?
The housing crises in Ireland is a result of supply and demand being out of balance. The solution is to increase the supply of available housing. We at Sligo Housing Action Group have constructed a list of practical solutions that, if implemented, will help solve the shortage. We understand that housing has become less accessible as years have gone by, and as a result, people are struggling to find affordable rentals and eventually climb the property ladder and secure homes of their own.
Take a look below at the list of solutions that we are sending to Leo, our Taoiseach . Then head to our Facebook page and follow the instructions for our “Letters to Leo campaign”.
On a local level, we are planning to purchase and renovate run-down and derelict properties. Once renovated with the help of volunteers, we will raffle them to non homeowners.,
