There are 19 categories in total, including homelessness, professionalism, equality, net zero and young achiever in housing, which recognise the many, and varied, teams and professionals who continue to demonstrate a real commitment to the housing sector, delivering vital services and support to communities throughout the nation – from big housing organisations to smaller businesses, individual housing professionals and tenants.

Commenting on this year's Awards, Callum Chomczuk, national director of CIH Scotland said: "Year after year, Scotland's housing sector continues to deliver outstanding services and support to tenants.

"This year's Housing Awards provide an opportunity to recognise the ongoing creativity, innovation, and achievements of Scotland's housing professionals and I would encourage every housing organisation who can demonstrate a real impact on the lives of their tenants and communities, to consider applying for an award. Each year, I look forward to judging the awards and being inspired by the great work going on throughout the Scottish housing sector."
