Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo announces the county’s collaboration with Houston legends Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland in efforts to mitigate homelessness in the Bayou City.
The $7.2 million initiative, provided through the American Rescue Plan funding, will create 31 new permanent supported housing units for people experiencing homelessness, the judge said.
Hidalgo said a bigger initiative will be announced in September, which is around the time Beyonce will be in Houston for shows on the “Renaissance” world tour, happening on Saturday, Sept. 23, and Sunday, Sept. 24 at the NRG Stadium.According to Hidalgo, the county, the City of Houston and the Coalition for the Homeless of Houston/ Harris County have jointly reduced homelessness in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic by 20% and that they have been able to hold that reduction.
“No matter who’s behind it, but it’s just especially interesting I think because there are these names, Beyoncé and Kelly Rowland, who of course, have been supportive of the community for a very long time,” Hidalgo said.
