ATU Calls Homeowners to Help Students | Galway News

Colleges are scrambling for student housing, and Atlantic Technological University is turning to homeowners for help. With a major shortage hitting campuses across Galway, Sligo, Donegal, and Mayo, ATU is launching a community-driven solution: rent out spare rooms through the government’s tax-free Rent-a-Room Relief scheme. Homeowners can earn up to $14,000 annually while students gain stable, affordable housing—critical for academic success. President Dr. Orla Flynn says this isn’t just about beds; it’s about peace of mind and building community. While long-term housing solutions stall due to funding hurdles, ATU’s bold local appeal shows how grassroots efforts can bridge gaps—and maybe even spark new connections in unexpected places.
