Our thanks and appreciation to the
Lord Mayor’s Charitable Foundation for their grant of $10,000.00
to assist with our client work and community education.
We also received an additional grant of $3,000.00 during their “85 Days of Giving” program. HAAG was nominated by a number of our members, clients and other community workers who consider our work for the community to be of great merit. The money will be used to assist our ACHA clients to keep their current housing or move to new accommodation. Thanks to all those who nominated us.

While HAAG lacks sufficient capital resources, our workers and volunteers continue to fill a vital, national, regional & local role in placing older person's housing on the political agenda.
HAAG has achieved this for the past 25 years!
We continue to publicize the plight of older people suffering terrible housing stress.
