The awards are sponsored by London’s 33 councils, London Housing Foundation, the Office for the Deputy Prime Minister’s Homelessness & Housing Support Directorate, and housing and homelessness charity Shelter.
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.
