Welcome to the Centre for Housing Law, Rights and Policy (CHLRP)

Welcome! Housing law, rights and policy are now global issues. Here, at the Centre for Housing Law, Rights and Policy (CHLRP) at NUI Galway, we endeavour to create a space for a free and open discussion, combining research, resources, advocacy and publications on housing law, rights and policy in Ireland and internationally.

Our aim is to contribute to the development of housing law, rights and policy through conferences, lectures, training, advocacy, publications and specialist research support. Current areas of research include mortgage market regulation and consumer protection, independent living for people with disabilities, housing rights in the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights, regulation of housing systems and implementation deficits in housing law and policy.
