Clare County Council will launch a new online Local Authority Home Loan application service on Tuesday, April 7, making it easier for eligible applicants to apply for housing finance.
The Local Authority Home Loan is designed to support people who wish to purchase or build their own home, but who have been unable to secure mortgage approval from mainstream lenders, providing an alternative pathway to home ownership.
Applications can be submitted online through the MyCoCo platform, which has been developed with a strong focus on usability and security. The system guides applicants through each stage of the process and includes an eligibility checker to help confirm whether they qualify before proceeding. Clear, step‑by‑step instructions assist applicants in providing all required information, helping to reduce delays caused by incomplete applications.
The online service ensures that applicants’ personal and financial information is protected throughout the application process, while also offering a more efficient and accessible experience.
For applicants who prefer not to apply online, Clare County Council will continue to accept paper-based applications, ensuring that all applicants can choose the method that best suits their needs.
Further information on the Local Authority Home Loan, including how to apply, is available here.
The Housing Loans team can also be contacted by email or by phone on (065) 684 6347 or (065) 684 6325.
