NHMF Awards 2023 | summary & key learnings

The NHMF annual Awards allow social landlords and contractors to showcase best practice and innovation in the sector. All winners and shortlisted schemes provided clear evidence of the benefits to residents, landlords and the wider community from innovation, technology, and partnership working between landlords and supply chains. The sector must be willing to learn from one another and to share what works and what does not work, particularly as it faces increasing scrutiny by Government, the Regulator, the Housing Ombudsman, media, and residents themselves.

These Awards show how it can improve efficiency, reduce unnecessary costs, and avoid common pitfalls to ensure residents live in homes fit for the 21st Century, homes that are safe, warm, and healthy.
