Supported Housing
Move in to move on

At MACS, our vision is an end to youth homelessness in Northern Ireland. If youβre 16-21 years old, leaving care, or homeless, we can help. Moving into your own place can feel overwhelming, but with MACS Supported Housing, you donβt have to do it alone.
We provide self-contained flats where you can live for up to two years, giving you the time, skills, and confidence needed to move on to independent living.
