A local organization that helps to support people experiencing homelessness honored NBC10 digital reporters Vince Lattanzio and Morgan Zalot for their work on Faces of Homeless Youth, an in-depth digital exclusive that delved into the issue of youth homelessness last year.
One Step Away, which publishes a newspaper written and sold by people who are homeless, awarded the reporters with a 2016 Steppy Award. Readers of the newspaper voted for the award winners.

During the months they spent reporting for Faces of Homeless Youth, Lattanzio and Zalot spent time in Covenant House Pennsylvania, the only crisis shelter in Philadelphia that specially serves 18- to 21-year-olds, and on the streets listening to the stories of teenagers and young adults who were currently or had previously been homeless.
