Haig Housing
Haig Housing is a charity established to provide housing for ex-servicemen in the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands.
History
[edit]Haig Housing was founded by Mrs Willie James as The Housing Association for Officers' Families (HAOF) in 1916. In 1995, it merged with Douglas Haig Memorial Homes, a charitable trust established as a memorial to Field Marshal Earl Haig in 1929.[1]
It now operates over 1,500 properties across the UK. Queen Elizabeth II visited one of the charity's developments, involving 68 homes in Morden,[2] in October 2019.[3][4]
