YORKSHIRE-based Horton Housing Association which manages homeless service in Skipton as part of the Craven Homeless Hub has won the Best Supported Housing Landlord category in the UK Housing Awards 2020 at a virtual ceremony recently.

The awards showcase the very best that the housing sector has to offer and are organised by the Chartered Institute of Housing and Inside Housing magazine.

Horton Housing’s CEO Paul Gartland said: “It is an incredible achievement to win this national award and to receive this recognition for the high quality accommodation and support we provide to people. Supported housing is at the heart of everything we do and the award is a credit to the hard work and commitment of all our employees and volunteers.”

Horton Housing manages more than 30 different housing, training and support services across Bradford, Calderdale, Kirklees and North Yorkshire. It provides specialist support and quality accommodation for the most vulnerable in society including people who are homeless, young people, older people, people with mental health problems, people with drug and alcohol addiction, refugees, gypsies and travellers, and ex-offenders.

We manage homeless services in Skipton as part of the Craven Homeless Hub and have recently opened four new units of accommodation for people who are moving towards independent living.

Our subsidiary company, Chartford Housing, develops supported accommodation in North and West Yorkshire.
