The Housing Association for
Officers 9 Families
OBJECTS OF THE ASSOCIATION
(1) To Provide unfurnished bouses and flats at specially reduced
rentals for officers* widows and dependants and gravely
disabled married officers.
(2) to make grants in aid of rent to persons similarly qualified.
(3) In affiliation with the Officers' Association, to give financial
assistance in connection with housing either by way of grants
or loans, in cases of special distress, to officers, whether disabled
or not, and their widows and dependants.
All houses, flats and funds are necessarily reserved for those whose means
make it impossible for them to provide decent homes for themselves and their
families, without such assistance as the Association is able to give. In the
consideration of applications, special regard is had to the extent to which the
applicant's income has been reduced as a direct result of War Service, and
preference is always given to those with young families.
The Secretary will be pleased to give further information to those interested,
whether as supporters or as prospective beneficiaries, on application, by letter
or personally, at the office of the Association —
