'Cónaí' means a dwelling or residence. It can also mean a state of rest, hence 'i gcónaí' = 'always'. http://breis.focloir.ie/en/fgb/c%C3%B3na%C3%AD
I keep seeing this sentence in these exercises translated using the Present Progressive tense ("am living"). Is there a way that this could be said in Irish with the Present Habitual tense ("I live here")?

They mean the same thing, but I believe that the Tá cónaí orm structure is preferred in Munster.

If cónaí is a residence, could this be translated as 'my home is here'?

This is one of the exercises for which audio existed in the first set of recordings, but for which audio doesn’t exist in the current set of recordings. (For some reason, the audio button is still present in this exercise, despite the current lack of a recording.)
