The past few months have been unlike any other, and we’re all too aware of the challenges the sector has had to overcome in light of the COVID-19 crisis. But with true Northern grit and self-determination, we have together pushed through to the other side, emerging with hardened resolve and indefatigable resilience.

We don’t tend to make much of a song and dance about our achievements, even if the triumphs of the past year especially warrant it. That’s where the Northern Housing Awards come in. We’ll do it for you.

If you work in or with the housing sector, then we want to hear about your achievements; working to provide affordable homes and helping communities to thrive.

We want to hear about the services you’ve devised that are changing lives.

We want to hear about your innovations; solving problems and overcoming obstacles to build a better North.

In short, we want to hear how you are making a difference for the people of our regions.

We’re very demanding, we know, but these things matter — and we want to shout about them from the rooftops.

The Northern Housing Awards are here to celebrate and promote all the great things the Northern Powerhouse’s affordable housing providers and their supply chain partners are doing. That means you, so don’t be backwards in coming forwards.

It’s the people who are the heart and soul of the Northern Powerhouse, and it’s the people who have kept the hope alive. Let’s celebrate that.
