By Housing for the Aged Action Group in response to Discussion Paper: "Regulation and Growth of the Not-for-Profit Housing Sector". HAAG would like to acknowledge that the submission was compiled with contributions from our members and this forms the foundation of our response
Housing for the Aged Action Group believes that Federal and State Governments in Australia should recognise that affordable housing is a fundamental human right. Also, our governments need to respect older people, recognise their past and present contribution to society, and ensure their housing, health and aged care needs are fully met now and into the future. This Charter sets out the criteria for suitable housing and related needs for older low-income tenants
HAAG's manifesto states that we are a member based organisation that believes that older people should have access to safe, secure and affordable housing.
"There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort."
