NEW YORK, Nov. 2, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- 5W Public Relations, one of the largest independently-owned PR firms in the U.S., has received the Diversity & Inclusion Campaign award in the PRNEWS 2020 Platinum PR Awards. The win recognizes 5WPR's Technology Team and their outstanding work with client Homeis at the onset of the coronavirus pandemic.

Homeis is the go-to source for hundreds of thousands of immigrants to find friends, lawyers, jobs, housing and more through trusted recommendations by others within their communities. At the onset of the pandemic, Homeis forums were filled with questions and concerns from the immigrant community about fears related to accessible coronavirus testing and health care, ICE, and more. The Homeis team partnered with immigration and legal experts to answer these questions and quickly transformed the application into a COVID-19 resource. 5W positioned Homeis as the go-to resource for immigrants – an often overlooked and underserved community - to find all the information they need in one spot.

"It is exciting to be recognized for work that reflects 5WPR's internal values of diversity and inclusivity, especially during such an unparalleled time," said 5WPR President of the Corporate and Technology Practice, Matthew Caiola. "I am extremely proud of the Technology Team's continuous work with Homeis. Their ability to secure coverage across a vast range of media has helped countless immigrants in our communities throughout the country."
