Booze Boost: Will Sydney's Homeless Program Really Help the Homeless Struggling with Alcohol Dependency

Politicians and organizations have been trying to put up solutions and projects for the homeless. Moreover, another program prepared in Sydney, Australia aims to answer the problems of homeless people battling chronic alcohol dependence-by actually supplying them more booze.

St. Vincent's Hospital and Foundation for Alcohol Research and Education organized and funded a new program called Managed Alcohol Program or MAP that provide housing, health and social services at a centre wherein they can avail standard drinks hourly from 7am to 10pm, under one radical proposal.

Lead researcher Dr. Nadine Ezard shared to AAP that MAP operates out of the country. However, in Australia, shelters, housing and other service programs focusing on the homeless call for abstinence.
