The 'Offer a Home' programme is being managed by local authorities on behalf of the Government.

What is the process in pledging your property

Step 1

Offer your property on the online portal offerahome.ie or by contacting the local authority for your property.

Step 2

The local authority will contact you to confirm some details, discuss the process with you and answer any queries you may have.

Step 3

If you are happy to proceed, and your property is suitable, the local authority will arrange to inspect the property. This is because properties must meet certain minimum standards and the assessment also helps to ensure the local authority can find the best match for the property.

Step 4

The local authority will let you know if the property meets the required standard. If the property meets the required standards, the local authority will begin work to match the property to the most suitable Ukrainian person or family in need of accommodation. If the property does not meet the required standards, the local authority will give you further information on what the issues were and how they might be addressed.

Step 5

When a suitable Ukrainian person or family has been identified and has agreed that they wish to take up the offer, the local authority will notify you and they will facilitate contact between you and the person or family. The local authority will also provide you with a template licence agreement which can be signed with the beneficiary before they move in.
