All 102 shortlisted entries for the Scotland Housing Awards have been included in our 2024 Good Practice Compendium – a vital guide to the very latest in good practice. Bringing together inspiration, ideas, and innovation, the Good Practice Compendium helps professionals and tenants across the sector work together to create a future where everyone has a place to call home.
For the first time ever, the Scotland Housing Awards Good Practice Compendium is available directly on the CIH website in a fully accessible format. Previously published as a PDF document, and therefore less accessible and creating higher CO2 emissions, the content is now more easily accessible to all and with a lighter carbon footprint.

"The Scotland Housing Awards and the Good Practice Compendium continue to be at the heart of CIH Scotland‘s commitment to sharing good practice and building a community of housing professionals who go above and beyond to make a difference to all of our lives.”
