The Affordable Housing Awards shine a light on the remarkable teams and individuals who lead the sector by example with their passion and commitment.
That is not all these awards do, however. Judged by tenants and sector experts, they provide a platform for showcasing and spreading best practice among sector stakeholders throughout the country.
Once again, the energy, focus and hard work displayed by the winning housing providers, charities and partners have had a valuable impact on the people and communities they serve. Over the next year, these winners will have the opportunity to share their learning in a variety of ways, including webinars, live events and roundtables.
Contractor of the year was won by Lewisham Homes’ in-house repairs team, who were recognised for their work to turn around what had been a struggling service. Stevenage Borough Council was named council of the year for its ambitious and well-delivered affordable housebuilding programme, while Stockport Housing Group was recognised as landlord of the year for its dedication to improving the lives of people in the communities it serves.
