We all need secure and affordable housing to be safe and healthy as we age. But increasingly, older people cannot afford to rent a home, and risk becoming homelessness. That’s why HAAG stands up for the rights of older people, whether they are homeless, live in private rental, public or community housing, retirement housing, or have a mortgage. Membership is free and it’s the best way to support, keep in touch and get involved with HAAG in our fight for housing justice.
