St Mungo's Peer Advice Link service PAL has been shortlisted from almost 300 entries to the 2011 Housing Heroes Awards.
These awards are in their third year and will once again showcase the people and teams that are doing exceptional work in the social/affordable housing sector.
The PAL service involves formerly homeless people helping their peers move on from supported housing to independent living in the community. It is now one of six left in the running for the Ground Breaking Service Team of the Year award.
The event is organised by Inside Housing magazine and the Chartered Institute of Housing (CIH).
