Douglas Haig Memorial Homes, known as Haig Homes, is a Charitable Housing Association and was established as a memorial to Field Marshal Earl Haig of Bemersyde KT GCB OM GCVO KCIE in recognition of his work to highlight and solve many problems facing ex-Service people and their families.
The object of the Trust is to provide housing assistance to ex-Service people and/or their dependants. Currently this object is achieved by letting homes at affordable rents. To be considered for housing, applicants must have an Armed Forces connection and be in housing need.
The Association has almost 1,300 houses, flats, maisonettes and bungalows throughout the UK, built mostly in the 1930’s, 1950’s and 1990’s. Some are subject to the nomination rights of the original service or regimental organisation which donated the funds for the building. The properties in Jersey are subject to residential qualification for the States of Jersey. Tenancies are allocated on the basis of suitability and need except where this would lead to unsustainable tenancies or unstable communities.
Haig Homes also incorporates The Housing Association for Officers’ Families (HAOF) which was founded in 1916 by Mrs Willie James with similar objects of providing homes for the widows and dependants of Service Officers and disabled Officers and their dependants. HAOF was incorporated into Haig Homes on 1st April 1995. |
