Most MAPs are paired with supportive housing, which can be at a single building (\u201csingle-site\u201d) or more uncommonly across multiple apartments (\u201cscattered-site\u201d). The North End Community Health Centre \u2013 Mobile Outreach Street Health (MOSH) in Halifax, Nova Scotia, established Atlantic Canada\u2019s first MAP, using a scattered-site model, in April 2020 \u2013 during the COVID-19 pandemic. We aimed to describe program participants, summarize outcomes, and understand stakeholder perceptions of program successes and challenges.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Parallel, mixed methods program evaluation.

At the time of our study, 9 had died and 9 left the program. Of the 20 remaining participants, 13 consented to chart review (92% male; age mean 46, SD 11\u2009years) and 9 had weekly outcome data available. Comparing year 1 to year 2, participants had mean person-week prevalence of any nonbeverage alcohol consumption (eg, hand sanitizer): 9% and 3%; acute alcohol-related harms: 25% and 9%; and seizures: 4% and 1%. Mean person-week prevalence of out-of-program drinking was 34% in year 1 and 33% in year 2. Focus groups highlighted MAP improved participants\u2019 health and decreased frequency of nonbeverage alcohol consumption, survival behaviors, and violence. Challenges included out-of-program drinking and lack of social programming.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This scattered-site MAP may support positive health and social outcomes for people with severe alcohol use disorder.
