Organisations that can demonstrate innovative ways of tackling homelessness are 
invited to apply for the Association of London Government’s Andy Ludlow Homelessness
Awards 2006.
The awards, now in their eighth year, are offering a total of £25,000
prize money to organisations that develop new, creative ways of tackling homelessness,
as well as rewarding examples of good practice.

The winner will receive a prize of £10,000, with £5,000 going to each of the three
runners up.

The awards are sponsored by London’s 33 councils, London Housing Foundation, the
Office for the Deputy Prime Minister’s Homelessness & Housing Support Directorate,

The awards are open to a range of organisations working to tackle homelessness including:
social landlords, housing and social services departments, NHS trusts, housing associations
and voluntary organisations.

Previous winners say that, in addition to the widely recognised endorsement provided
by the awards, they have also helped attract funding to enable winning organisations
to develop their services.

The Andy Ludlow Awards were established in 1998 in memory of Andy Ludlow, a former
Director of Housing and Social Services at Haringey. His fellow London housing directors
decided to launch an annual homelessness award to commemorate his commitment to 
tackling homelessness.

The closing date for entries for this year’s awards is July 3 2006.
