On June 18, Fair Housing Coach received the Gold Award for Best Real Estate Newsletter from the National Association of Real Estate Editors (NAREE). This prestigious competition recognizes excellence in reporting, writing, and editing stories about residential and commercial real estate. 

A panel of expert judges from the Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University selected winners in 30 categories. The judges singled out the July 2024 issue of Fair Housing Coach, “Avoid Discrimination When Using AI-Based Tenant Screening Services,” commenting:

“In this newsletter, Fair Housing Coach tackled the discriminatory issues that come with using AI-based services to screen potential tenants. The pages are filled with explanations of how the tenant-screening industry has increasingly turned to artificial intelligence, how discrimination still seeps through AI, and what landlords can do to ensure they are not falling into this pattern of discrimination. It is a robust guide full of detailed best practices and additional tips to help landlords navigate this murky and evolving landscape.”
