In 2014, the Winston-Salem BIC project began to gather demographic information, convene public discussion groups with more than 200 residents, review local resources, and survey foreign-born residents from 23 countries of origin. This process heavily informed the Winston-Salem Action Plan which includes recommendations to improve several community-identified issues such as educational support, government communication, health care access, and public transportation.

Pipeline Orientation

The Winston-Salem Pipeline was created by the Winston-Salem BIC program to synthesize City/Community resources and information for immigrant and refugee newcomers. The Pipeline includes quarterly multilingual informational sessions and a one-stop-shop informational resource guide. Winston Salem BIC is facilitated by the City of Winston Salem’s Human Relations / Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Department and is comprised of local immigrant and community leaders who meet regularly to provide guidance to City leaders.
