The Xunta de Galicia is holding two public lotteries this week to allocate a total of 98 rental homes. On Wednesday, 9 September 2026, at 10.00, 50 homes on plot Z-28 in the district of Xuxán in A Coruña will be drawn. On Friday, 11 September 2026, at 10.00, the draw for 48 homes in two buildings (plots 1 and 2) in the Barrio do Bertón in Ferrolwill begin. Both proceedings will take place before a Notar in the Xunta’s delegation halls in A Coruña and Ferrol respectively.
According to the regional government, 40 per cent of the homes are prioritised for applicants under 36. Eligibility requirements include registration in the Rexistro de Demandantes de Vivenda with the relevant Ayuntamiento as the preferred place to live, residence or employment in the relevant Ayuntamiento, not owning a home, and meeting income limits. Depending on household size, these range from 0.7 to four times the Spanish minimum wage indicator IPREM, or up to 4.5 times that amount for large families.
After the draw, the administration will publish a provisional list of successful applicants. Objections may be lodged within ten days, after which the final list will follow. A further ten-day period will be allowed to accept or decline an allocation. The allocation forms part of measures by the Consellería de Vivenda e Planificación de Infraestruturas to increase the stock of publicly subsidised rental homes in growing urban areas. The Instituto Galego da Vivenda e Solo (IGVS) is also pursuing further projects in A Coruña and Ferrol, providing for additional homes at various stages of construction and planning.
The forthcoming draws respond to strong demand for affordable housing in both cities. Local administrative information and earlier announcements point to a large number of registered applicants. The available notices did not state binding handover dates for individual buildings; these depend on construction progress and the respective inspection and acceptance processes. The dates, locations and arrangements for the draws given here match the official publications of the Xunta de Galicia and the IGVS as at 8 September 2026.
