Working for a world where everyone has a safe and secure home

With 2.8 billion people currently living without adequate housing, and conflicts and the climate emergency threatening to displace millions more, we are facing a global crisis that demands urgent, effective and inclusive solutions.

Through the World Habitat Awards we find and support emerging housing solutions, helping them grow and transfer to new places – driving innovation forward and providing more homes for those in need across the world.

Our track record

We work internationally, awarding and supporting a wide range of housing projects, from local, start-up concepts to nationwide, government-led developments.
