Dogged, well organized coverage of an issue that affects every homeowner.

These stories humanize homelessness through strong and sympathetic characters and debunk so many myths, all while sprinkling positivity throughout about what's being done to help the issue.

This was the last selection to be judged in this category for me, and save one of the best for last, I guess. Well written, well thought out piece about a huge local issue. This is why news media and newspapers matter. Could easily be first place.
