Beyonce & Kelly Rowland Team Up With Harris County To Build 31 Homes For The Homeless In Texas

Beyoncé & Kelly Rowland Team Up To Fight Homelessness in Houston With Permanent Housing Complex

Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland are teaming up to do their part to help combat this problem in their hometown of Houston, Texas.

On Tuesday, Harris County officials announced that the county would be collaborating with the Houston natives to create 31 permanent housing units.

According to Billboard, the initiative is set to use $7.2 million in American Rescue Plan funds to build the complex.

“Initiatives like this one I certainly will be supportive of it no matter who’s behind it, but it’s especially interesting because there are these names of Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, who, of course, have been supportive of the community for a very long time,” Judge Lina Hildago said during a press conference Tuesday, according to the Houston Chronicle.

In addition to the housing units, the new permanent housing project called the Knowles-Rowland House will have case managers, peer specialists, service specialists and support services, like transportation, mental health, physical and behavioral health support.

An “even bigger launch” of the housing complex is slated for a September announcement once Beyoncé is back in her hometown for her two Renaissance World Tour shows at Houston’s NRG Stadium.

Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland have consistently given back to their hometown. After Hurricane Harvey upended the city in 2017, Beyoncé returned to Houston alongside Destiny’s Child bandmate Michelle Williams and mom Tina Knowles-Lawson to help serve food to those affected.
