Leicestershire-based social housing and care provider emh group has been shortlisted for the UK Housing Awards 2016.

The awards, which recognise outstanding work by housing organisations to improve the lives of people in their communities, are organised by the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH) and Inside Housing magazine.

Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this year’s awards attracted more than 250 entries from all over the UK.

emh group is now one of 6 left in the running for the Outstanding Development Programme of the Year category.

The winners will be revealed at a ceremony in London on 26 April, where impressionist and comedian Rory Bremner will present the awards.

CIH Chief Executive Terrie Alafat said: “The UK Housing Awards recognise the great work being done by housing professionals and organisations across the industry, but they also push us all to do better as a sector. We hope the achievements of our finalists will inspire others as they aim to provide the best possible services for residents and communities. Congratulations to all of the organisations that have been shortlisted, and best of luck for the 20th anniversary ceremony – win or lose your work will help inspire us all to improve.”

Chan Kataria, emh group Chief Executive, said: “We are thrilled to have been shortlisted for this award. It shows that the types of homes we are delivering across the East Midlands – from eco-homes to extra care schemes – are just what are needed to meet the diverse needs of our communities.”
