This year we celebrate our 12th Community Housing Awards in 2023. The ICSH is again delighted to partner with our sponsor Allianz in this exceptional competition to recognise distinction and excellence in public housing design, development and delivery.

The ICSH Allianz Biennial Community Housing Awards offers a platform to demonstrate innovation and sustainability in public housing projects that our approved housing bodies members and local authority partners continue to deliver for communities across the country. The 2023 Awards recognise excellence across eleven individual categories. The ICSH seeks category entries from both urban and rural projects that communicate the diversity of housing delivered by both the local authority and approved housing body sectors. Winners will be announced at the ICSH Biennial National Social Housing Conference on Wednesday 18 October 2023 in the Clayton Whites Hotel in Wexford Town.

Public Choice Award 2023

Projects shortlisted for the ICSH Allianz Community Housing Awards 2023 are also competing in the Public Choice Award 2023. Following on from the very succcessful inaugral Public Choice Award in 2021, we’re very excited to continue with this category award, as it gives members of the public an opportunity to support a participating project that they feel is most deserved of recognition.
