Congratulations to all of our winners and to those who were shortlisted for an award. The standard of entries we received this year presented a tough challenge for our judges! In recognition of the hard work and dedication of the housing sector, we would like to invite all of our CIH Excellence winners to join us in a celebration of housing and to mark 100 years of CIH at a special Parliamentary reception in December.”
