More than 70 housing organisations have reached the final stages of the UK Housing Awards for their outstanding work to improve the lives of people in their communities.

The UK Housing Awards, now in their fourteenth year, attracted over 250 entries. The awards recognise excellence across ten categories and present prizes for outstanding achievement in housing in Northern Ireland, Scotland, Wales and for the UK as a whole.


The final winners will be announced by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and Inside Housing magazine at a ceremony in London on Wednesday 10 November 2010.

CIH Chief Executive, Sarah Webb, said: "It is fantastic that we have had so many excellent entries this year, and this is evident from the high standard of the shortlisted finalists. I want to congratulate all the organisations who have reached the finals, their work is a true inspiration to all of us."
