The Merseyside Accommodation Project (MAP)
Supporting homeless teenagers in Merseyside
What is MAP?
The Merseyside Accommodation Project (MAP) was established by Local
Solutions in 1986 as a supported lodgings scheme to provide
‘family style’ accommodation and support for young
homeless people aged 16 - 18. Young people are referred
to the project through social services and other youth support
agencies.
MAP is an effective solution to a complex problem. Its
pioneering work looked at youth homelessness from a whole new angle
that has been recognised nationally for its innovation and
approach.
MAP has entered into a contract with Denbighshire County Council to
set up a pilot of the service in Denbigh, North Wales. The
initiative will meet the current gap in provision for young
homeless people aged 16 – 18. This partnership will
support many young people and families in the
vicinity”.
Funding
MAP is funded through Supporting People and supplemented by Housing
Benefit.
Funding is also sought from charitable trusts and benefactors in
order to support additional activities - i.e. holidays, adventure
breaks and to provide emergency payments to our young people in
need through the Hardship Fund.
