About Maninplace
Maninplace is a provider of emergency, temporary, supported and long-term accommodation with intensive housing management services, set up to offer accommodation for people who present as rough sleeping or homeless in the borough of Telford and Wrekin.
Established in 2006 as a not for profit community enterprise, Maninplace set out to provide accommodation for those who were unable to access social housing and private sector rental properties due to limited income and lifestyle.
Maninplace came into existence as a result of the daily experiences of it’s founder, Alan Olver MBE, at The Salvation Army KiP Project in Wellington, Shropshire, and today; continues to work alongside KiP and other local partners, complimenting their valuable work by providing a variety of temporary and longer term accommodation solutions that caters for a variety of needs.
Maninplace has developed from its humble beginnings as a community enterprise with 4 bed spaces, into a thriving non-profit community interest company offering in excess of 110 units of accommodation.
Thanks to a dedicated team of housing staff and support workers, we offer a service that supports and encourages our customers to achieve a healthy, independent lifestyle and sees them being an integrated member of their local community.
We work in partnership with local organisations, charities, and support groups to provide a wide network of support covering many different areas of need.
Maninplace has, and continues, to work around a Christian ethos with some of our team members being Christians and giving their time because of their beliefs.
At our core is a desire to engage with every customer without judgement of their circumstances, or how they became homeless, but assist them to achieve a brighter future.
