Annual Report 2020-21

Our Annual Report reports on the array of services, campaigns and advocacy that make up everything under the banner of 'HAAG'. We've attempted to show how HAAGs strategic pillars of 'Changing Lives', 'Changing the System', 'Honouring our Heritage', and 'Strengthening our Organisation' overlap and help us create a full, wrap around service for all older tenants.

Federal Policy Recommendations

405,000 women aged 45 and over are at risk of homelessness in Australia. This is a national issue that is affecting women across the country in metropolitan, regional and rural settings. Multiple changes are required to our housing, retirement, and social services and income support systems to meaningfully address this issue. If we act now, we can reduce future social and economic costs and avoid placing additional pressure on already stretched homelessness and crisis response services.
