Our Legacy

Charles Huband, our founder and most relentless champion, saw that people living in poverty lacked access to stable and dignified housing; often renting derelict units from absent landlords.  He witnessed developers push residents with low incomes and limited housing options out of their homes and neighbourhoods. 

He saw there was another way. His legacy is the Westminster Housing Society. 

Will you join us in continuing his legacy?
