Beyonce is doing her part to help struggling families affected by the coronavirus pandemic. The Grammy-award singer, 39, has generously donated $500,000 to those facing eviction as part of her BeyGOOD foundation.
The
mum-of-three is hoping to make a difference as countless people have either
lost or at the brink of losing their homes due to lack of stability or income
amid the global crisis.
The fund is
set to be made up of $5,000 grants, which will be distributed to 100 recipients
in late January.
Online
application for the grants will become available from January 7, 2021, with a
second round of applications will open in February.
In an
official announcement, Beyoncé's foundation penned: "Phase Two of the
BeyGOOD Impact Fund will now help those impacted by the housing crisis.
"The
housing moratorium is set to end on Dec. 26, resulting in mortgage foreclosures
and rental evictions. Many families are impacted, due to the pandemic, [which
has] resulted in job loss, sickness and overall economy downturn."
The
organisation added: "Beyoncé is giving $5,000 grants to individuals and
families facing foreclosures or evictions. All necessary documentation must be
provided to the NAACP."
"[The]
online application process opens Jan. 7, 2021 [and] 100 recipients will be
selected. Grants [will be] disbursed in late January. Round two [of grant
distribution] will [reopen] in February," the statement added.
