Six projects make it to shortlist for prestigious 2024 awards
Six projects from across London have been shortlisted for this year’s London Homelessness Awards and are in the running to win a share of the prize fund of £60000.
This is the 25th year of the awards, which are sponsored by the London Housing Foundation, London Housing Directors, Mayor of London, Crisis and Shelter.
Organisers received over 30 applications for the awards and a judging panel had to choose just six. The projects will now be visited by a member of the panel and the final winner and runners up, who will share a prize fund of £60000, will be announced at a special event later this year.
Simon Dow is the Chair of the judging panel for the London Homelessness Awards. He said:
“Once again – in the 25th year of the London Homelessness Awards – we have a terrific shortlist of projects for this year’s award. Here is real evidence of the endless ingenuity and determination of the organisations working with homeless people in London. We are proud to broadcast their successes.”

- Housing Justice – The Night Shelter Lettings Network
- Lambeth Council – Routes to Independence Pathway
- Thames Reach – CHA & PLACE
- The Passage – No Night Out Service
- Treasures Foundation – Revealing the Hidden Treasures in Each Woman
