One of ACSO’s main residential services, McCormack Housing was inspired by Stan McCormack’s original vision, to create safe, supportive accommodation for people exiting prison, as well those at risk of entering the justice system.

Formally established in 2016, McCormack Housing provides a wraparound service model and between 6 and12 months of stable accommodation. During this time, tenancy officers work closely with participants, identifying needs and creating tailored housing plans to exit tenants into safe, affordable, and accessible housing. McCormack Housing also provides support beyond housing goals, including forensic case management for individualised care that allows tenants to thrive, achieve life skills and gain independence.
