The People in Housing Awards Midlands 2026

Not many people can say they were there when history was made. But by joining us, you will be.

Hosted by Niyaa People, the People in Housing Awards mark the Midlands’ first ever event dedicated entirely to recognising and celebrating excellence across the housing sector.

This groundbreaking event brings together housing professionals, partners, and teams from across the region, all united by one purpose: to celebrate the people behind the homes and communities that make the Midlands stronger.

From housing associations and local authorities to contractors, support teams, and community leaders, this is your chance to come together, share experiences, and shine a light on the achievements that truly make a difference.

A Stronger Housing Community

Across the housing sector, we’ve all faced similar challenges, from growing demand to changing regulations and increasing pressures on services. Too often, housing organisations and professionals work in isolation, tackling the same struggles separately.

The People in Housing Awards were created to change that.

This event is about coming together, celebrating shared success, and building stronger connections between people and organisations who care deeply about the same mission. Because when we talk more, share more, and lean on each other, we don’t just overcome challenges, we move the sector forward together.

A Night To Remember

As the first event of its kind in the Midlands, this is more than just an awards ceremony, it’s the start of a movement.

A celebration of collaboration, care, and community.

A chance to share success stories, inspire others, and recognise the incredible impact housing professionals make every single day. Be there to witness history in the making, celebrate the achievements that matter, and help us build the foundations of an event that’s only going to grow bigger and better each year.
