DEPARTMENT/PROGRAM DESCRIPTION

An individual’s overall health and wellness are largely influenced by multiple factors: personal, organizational, or institutional, environmental and policy. Given the connection between the different levels of health determinants, MAAC promotes health and wellness by offering comprehensive information, referrals, and in some cases, services to children and families impacted by challenges to their health and well-being.

MAAC’s programs strive to improve clients’ economic standing as well as their ability to access resources available to them. Included among the many programs and services now offered are Head Start/Early Head Start/State Preschool/QPI and other related early childhood development programs, two culturally specific recovery homes: Casa De Milagros and Nosotros, award-winning affordable housing complexes, community and workforce development programs, and a community charter school. MAAC’s commitment to environmental sustainability carries the non-profit into the future with its low-income home weatherization program. For more information, visit   www.maacproject.org.
