WINSTON-SALEM, N.C., October 6, 2026 — Fresh Hope Workforce Development Ecosystem™ is partnering with Rowland Enterprises, LLC, led by Winston-Salem real estate professional Dominque Lacey Rowland, to connect Hope Achievers with education and resources for financial stability and homeownership.
Fresh Hope, an initiative of the New Hope Resource Center of Winston-Salem, Inc., connects its Hope Achievers with career training, support, and pathways to employment. Dominque Lacey Rowland is developing a community resource hub, the LaceyNeal Collective at Realty ONE Group, that will offer education and connections to trusted professionals as people navigate financial and homeownership decisions. Together, the organizations aim to help participants see how increased earning power can support lasting opportunities for their families.

“A new career opportunity can change a person’s income. We also want Hope Achievers to have the knowledge and connections to make informed decisions about what comes next,” said Bishop John C. Parks, President and Founder of the New Hope Resource Center of Winston-Salem, Inc. “Our partnership with LaceyNeal Collective at Realty ONE Group brings financial and homeownership education into that larger journey toward economic mobility.”
