“Full citizenship for all people living with a mental illness in Australian society”
The Macarthur Accommodation and Access Program (MAAP) is a time limited, focussed intervention aimed at assisting people who are homeless or at risk of becoming homeless to access stable and sustainable housing and support arrangements. Neami’s MAAP works closely with correctional facilities, local mental health services, Aboriginal Services, Social and Community Housing services, other NGO’s and health practitioners in the Macarthur area.
The crisis service within MAAP offers six beds for single men who are homeless and a 2 bedroom unit for couples without children.
