What happened
Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland invested $8.4 million to establish the Knowles-Rowland House, a permanent supportive housing project in Houston, Texas. The facility, which houses 31 residential units, was built on the site of a former youth center that was damaged by Hurricane Harvey and a fire. Residents are scheduled to begin moving into the building on November 1.

Why it matters
The project repurposes a former community center into housing designed for people facing chronic homelessness, providing stable homes alongside services like mental health counseling. The rebuilding plan utilized about $7.2 million in federal relief funds committed by Harris County.
