Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

For 16 years Housing for the Aged Action Group (HAAG) has provided a homelessness outreach service to older people through the Assistance with Care and Housing for the Aged (ACHA) Program. ACHA provides one-to-one intensive support to older people threatened with losing their accommodation, particularly in the private rental market. Funded by the Department of Health and Ageing, it is primarily viewed by government as an aged care support scheme that ensures older people are well housed to be able to receive the care that they need.
