Galway Co-operative Housing Development Society Ltd. (GCHDS) also referred to as Galway Co-op Housing was formed in 1993. This was on the basis of original members' very personal experience and awareness of housing needs in Galway.

Such housing, we believe, is critical to each person's ability to benefit from, participate in and contribute fully to society and their community.
