A key part of HAAG's Early Intervention approach to homelessness is our Community Education projects. Through empowering older people with experiences of homelessness to share their stories, we reach out to diverse community groups, letting them know about our services.

Community Educator Training Sessions

17 Feb 2025

Older people need safe, secure and affordable housing as they age. But more and more people don’t have a secure place to live, or are becoming homeless. We need your help to solve this problem! We are looking for people who can help us engage with the community so that they can access our services. We will be providing a 5 week training for you to become a community educator. Through this training, you can either choose to become a bilingual educator, a community educator for the LGBTI community or a general community educator who can link older people at risk of homelessness to HAAG services.

HAAG Membership Brochure

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.
