The Material Aid and Advocacy Program (MAAP) amplifies and organizes with people who are unhoused and people who use drugs, and our allies, for evidence-based solutions to the interconnected systems and policy failures they are surviving. While doing this we support people in meeting their self-identified survival needs through outreach and sweep support, and at our low-threshold drop-in space where people access material aid and meals; have risk reduction conversations and safety plan; connect to resources and providers; build community; care for each other; and organize.
MAAP holds twice annual Tag Sale Fundraisers in the Spring and Fall and 100% of proceeds support our work. The sales includes clothing that is of good to new quality and is not of use to MAAP community members (pieces that need to be dry cleaned or are otherwise costly to maintain) as well as vintage and designer clothing, finer housewares, antiques, and jewelry. Proceeds from the Tag Sale make up 10% of MAAP's annual budget.

MAAP follows the leadership of, amplifies, and organizes with people who are unhoused and people who use drugs, and our allies, for evidence-based solutions to the interconnected systems and policy failures they are surviving. Housing justice, racial justice, ending the war on drugs, prison abolition, decriminalization of homelessness, and accessible and comprehensive healthcare for all are our work. While doing this we support people in meeting their self-identified survival needs through outreach and sweep support, and at our low-threshold drop-in space where people access material aid and meals; have risk reduction conversations and safety plan; connect to resources and providers; build community; care for each other; and organize.
