Maninplace

Maninplace is committed to working with the marginalised of our society who are deprived of their basic right to have a home.

They work to break down the barriers that prevent non – statutory homeless people from accessing accommodation and assist them to access permanent accommodation, support services and employment.

If you are their tenant, please contact them for support.

Maninplace are providers of Emergency Accommodation for the homeless 18+year olds at the point of becoming homeless (night by night). The referral process is through The Salvation Army KiP Information Project or (out of hours) the Rough Sleepers Help Line on 01952 259204.

Maninplace also provides a range of temporary accommodation for non statutory homeless and long term and permanent accommodation for 26+ year olds who are unable to access social housing.

The Salvation Army KiP Information Project is the first response for those non- statutory homeless.

Maninplace is a charity in its own right. It works closely with KiP and is part of the Thrive partnership providing 100 hours of support per week to some of the most vulnerable people.
