LaTeesha's Story

Even though you may check our website and read our blog, to fully appreciate how New Century IDA empowers people you need to hear first hand from someone who has participated in the program.

LaTeesha is a graduate of Winston-Salem State and an Income Maintenance Caseworker in Family and Children’s Medicaid for Forsyth County. She has completed the financial literacy classes and will graduate from New Century IDA with Wave 29 on March 27^th. Like many people who participate in New Century IDA, LaTeesha is motivated by her son. By achieving her goal of homeownership, her son will be able to grow up in his own family’s home. He will also learn what his mother is capable of and what can be achieved with hard work and dedication to a goal.
