HAAG's national takeover

27 Jan 2016
HAAG is going nationwide in an exciting new project funded by the Wicking Trust. Jeff comes in to talk all about it, and the prospects for both improved services and grassroots activism for older people's housing justice across Australia. We also talk about the weakness of voluntary guidelines that have failed to produce accessible housing for disabled people in the private rental market, and how this effects older tenants. If you're an older renter in Victoria and you'd like to talk to someone about your housing situation, please give us a call on 1300 765 178.
