Haig Housing is a charity established to provide housing for ex-servicemen in the United Kingdom and the Channel Islands.

History

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.

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, in October 2019.
