The London Housing Foundation has been supporting the Andy Ludlow Homelessness Awards since its inception in 2003. The awards are the country’s leading homelessness awards with prize money awarded to the organisations that demonstrate innovative and creative solutions for tackling homelessness in the capital, as well as recognising good practice.
The awards are open to all projects in London working in the field of homelessness, including those from the voluntary sector, housing and social services departments, NHS trusts, registered social landlords, or a partnership of agencies.
The judges look for evidence of work that:
- Improves services to homeless people or people at risk of becoming homeless
- Prevents homelessness
- Tackles disadvantage caused by homelessness
- Takes an innovative or unique approach to tackling the above issues
- Can be replicated across London.
Run by London Councils on behalf of the capital’s 33 boroughs, the awards are sponsored by London Housing Foundation, the Mayor of London and Shelter. Inside Housing is media partner.
