This nationwide search aims to celebrate everyday heroes who make their communities better places to live. Nominations were received from 34 states across the country, and public voting is open through September 21st at neighborsbank.com/neighboroftheyear/. The winner, who will be announced on September 28, National Good Neighbors Day, will receive a $20,000 prize. The contest is accompanied by new research from Neighbors Bank, highlighting that more than one in three Americans value their neighborhood and neighbors more than the price they paid for their home. The finalists, spanning seven states, were selected by a panel of judges, including David Burton, Leslie Cook, Talia Jackson, and Angela Santomero. Each finalist has a unique story that exemplifies what it means to be a genuinely good neighbor. Ashley Harris, Director of Homebuyer Education at Neighbors Bank, emphasizes that these individuals did not set out to change the world but simply decided to care for those around them. Neighbors Bank, a direct-to-consumer mortgage lender, has been helping people get into homes for over 80 years and operates as an online-first lender in 49 states and Washington, D.C.
