Beyoncé’s impact on the city is not only limited to her legendary talent but also her acts of philanthropy. The “Drunk In Love” singer performed an important act in her hometown of Houston, Texas. According to The Blast, the “Break My Soul” singer and former band member Kelly Rowland are teaming up to help fight Houston’s housing crisis.
Harris County officials announced that the county will join forces with former members of Destiny’s Child to create 31 units of permanent housing for homeless people in the area. The initiative is set to use $7.2 million in American Rescue Plan funds to build the complex.

Additionally, the new permanent housing project — called Knowles-Rowland House — will have case managers, peer specialists, service specialists and support services, such as transportation, mental health, physical and behavioral health support.
In a press conference, Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo praised the joint efforts of local officials and the Homeless Coalition in reducing homelessness in the area by 20%. Hidalgo shared that the “bigger launch” will happen in September, which coincides with when the “Church Girl” hitmaker will grace the city for her tour.
Hidalgo also highlighted Ivy Park’s founding and Rowland’s involvement in the project. In his words,
“We’ve just done the homeless count again, so an initiative like this I’d definitely support regardless of who’s behind it, but it’s particularly interesting, I think, because there are Beyonce and Kelly Rowland’s names, who, of course, have been supporting the community since After a long time.”
