What this organisation does

Haig Housing Trust is a UK charity and housing provider that has supported the British veteran community for almost 100 years. The organisation provides affordable housing for eligible ex-Service personnel and their families and operates more than 1,500 properties across around 50 locations throughout the UK. 
The Trust aims to assist veterans who need housing, including those transitioning to civilian life or experiencing housing difficulties. In addition to housing, it offers advice, guidance and signposting to other organisations that support veterans. 
For seafarers, fishers and family members who are also military veterans, this service may be relevant when seeking secure, affordable accommodation or specialist veteran housing support.
