This year’s awards attracted more than 300 entries from all over the UK.

The winner of the award will be revealed at a ceremony in London on 16 April, hosted by Great British Bake Off presenter Sue Perkins.

CIH chief executive Grainia Long said: “The UK Housing Awards are about celebrating the dedication and commitment of organisations and professionals across the industry”.

“They not only recognise success, they also give housing providers the opportunity to learn from each others’ excellent work and innovation.

“I’d like to congratulate all the organisations that have been shortlisted. Their work can inspire us all.”
