How homeless men are faring: Some initial outcomes from the Michael Project

'The Michael Project' Snapshot Report - April 2011

The Michael Project is a three-year, private donor funded initiative working with homeless men in the Sydney region. It began operating in October 2007 with the objectives of:
• improving the health, wellbeing and social and economic participation of homeless men;
• improving their access to stable, secure and long term accommodation;
• articulating and developing a new model of support; and
• providing an evidence base for policy and program development in the delivery of homeless services.

This is the second snapshot examining the circumstances of participants in the Michael Project. It focuses specifically on how participants are faring after three months relative to their circumstances when they were initially engaged with the project.
