Housing for the Aged Action Group Information

Housing for the Aged Action Group is the only Australian organisation specialised in the housing needs of older people. Coming from grass-roots beginnings over 30 years ago, HAAG today is over 400 members strong. HAAG are committed to finding long term solutions to the housing crisis facing older Australians and have partnered with organisations such as the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria, Council on the Ageing, the University of Queensland Institute for Social Science Research and the University of Adelaide Centre for Housing, Urban and Regional Planning. HAAG are actively involved in the review of government legislation and our political lobbying has effected change in policy and instigated a parliamentary review of the retirement housing sector. HAAGs Home at Last program provides practical support to those seeking an appropriate, affordable home and those having issues with their current tenancy, across all housing types. In 2015 HAAG won the Victorian Homelessness Achievement Award for Excellence in Ending Homelessness Among Older People.
