VISION

Individuals experiencing housing insecurity have equitable housing and healthcare

MISSION

We are on a mission to develop programming and services to fill gaps in access to healthcare and housing in the Madison Area.

 

In the autumn of 2015, a group of concerned activists, outreach workers, and medical personnel came together to address a set of major issues in the Madison area. Throughout the city, people experiencing homelessness were going without essential medical care, for everything from diabetes to foot injuries to chemotherapy follow-up. Some existing organizations, as well as trained and untrained volunteers, were trying to help individual sufferers, but nothing existed that truly got at the roots of the problem. From these discussions, Madison Area Care for the Homeless OneHealth (MACH) emerged.

Over the years, MACH has emerged as a community leader in providing and coordinating compassionate, holistic healthcare for individuals experiencing homelessness. The organization now consists of a 230 volunteer mailing list with about 65 active volunteers. In 2022 there will be 15 paid staff members: ten full-time and 5 part-time, plus a full-time Americorp Volunteer. Typical office hours are M-Th, 9:00am – 3:00pm, otherwise you can find MACH staff and volunteers out in the community on various service nights or at the Dairy Drive Shelter.  The volunteers and staff carry out a variety of services tailored to the unique needs of our patients.
