The housing network is operated by Olan Trust on behalf of Olan Homes Ltd, which is supported by Olan Trust but is a separately-managed independent company, a fully-mutual housing co-operative, registered society number: 032133R.

It is a housing network with a difference - a co-operative housing service.  We provide affordable, environmentally-sustainable, and accessible homes to people of all backgrounds and lifestyle needs, and making the best usage of space in crowded inner-city areas, combined with shared facilities.

Olan Homes is unique in providing a mobile membership - which can be transferred (subject to conditions) across the network's properties on application, combined with a range of homes from dormitory accommodation available to those required both high quality shared communal facilities combined with low cost accommodation. Other properties include shared homes, family units, and single-room flats, with both quiet and lively zones to cater for differing lifestyles. Olan Homes also provides staffed and supported accommodation to those referred or self-referred with support needs.

All the accommodation provided is as ecologically-sustainable as feasible, and includes access to communal facilities which may include lounges, laundry rooms, meeting rooms, and gardens.
