Beyoncé Knowles-Carter and Kelly Rowland have launched a revolutionary new initiative that will help tackle homelessness in Houston. On June 27, 2023, Harris County announced their partnership with the two former Destiny's Child members to create 31 housing units for those in need.
The Knowles-Rowland House will provide permanent resources for future residents, including transportation, mental health resources, health services, case managers, and peer specialists. Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo expressed her support for the initiative at a press conference. She noted that it was especially meaningful, given the longstanding commitment of Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland to the Houston community.
The project will be located at the Bread of Life gymnasium. Rudy Rasmus, executive director at Bread of Life, shared that the Knowles-Rowland project has been in the works for many years. It was even funded in part by Destiny's Child hit song "No, No, No."
The American Rescue Plan has contributed $7.2 million towards the housing project, with the remaining $1.2 million funded by other entities. There will be a bigger launch for the project when Beyoncé is in Houston on September 23 and September 24 for her Renaissance World Tour.
Beyoncé's impact is already being felt across the globe. AfroTech reported that her presence in Stockholm, Sweden has caused a 0.2% increase in inflation in the country. Hotels and restaurants have bumped up their prices by 3.3%, showing the immense influence that Beyoncé wields.
We are so excited to see the Knowles-Rowland House come to fruition. This amazing initiative will be a lasting legacy for Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland's hometown of Houston.
