CandysDirt Wins Award at NAREE With Story Linking Healthcare to Housing Insecurity

Our Bethany Erickson won at the National Association of Real Estate Editor’s 69th Annual Journalism Awards last night with a report on how affordable healthcare impacts housing security.

The judges said: “This in-depth piece on how basic to catastrophic illnesses affect someone’s ability to pay their mortgage is based on a study that was the first to look at this issue. The story is a must-read for anyone, healthy or not, who has a mortgage.”

The awards recognize excellence in reporting, writing and editing stories about residential and commercial real estate. NAREE presented the awards June 28, 2019, at its 53rd Annual Real Estate Journalism Conference at the Hyatt Regency Austin. A panel of expert judges from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University selected all winners. Medill’s Ceci Rodgers chaired the panel.
