Commenting on the shortlist, Callum Chomczuk, CIH Scotland’s national director said:
“The housing sector, and the practitioners working in it, has continued to show incredible professionalism delivering outstanding services and support to tenants and communities. Moving immediately from managing the impact of a pandemic to dealing with a cost of living crisis could not be more challenging. But the work of the shortlisted nominees shows the impact that the sector can make towards those living in the hardest of circumstances.
“The Scotland Housing Awards this October will provide an opportunity to bring housing professionals and organisations together again to support and celebrate the creativity, determination, innovation and achievements of Scotland’s housing sector.”
