Everyone’s favorite superstar queen Beyoncé is doing good. Through her nonprofit BeyGOOD, Beyoncé continues to provide ways to help those in need during the COVID-19 pandemic. BeyGOOD has been at the forefront of providing people with basic needs like food, water, household supplies, COVID testing, and mental health support. They’ve also been supplying $10K grants to over 250 small businesses. Beyoncé has also directed resources to Houston, including providing more than 500 COVID-19 tests, partnering with a local church for a drive-thru food distribution site and supplying basic necessities to those in need through local organizations. BeyGOOD announced on its website that the Impact Fund will provide $50,000 for those impacted by the housing crisis.
“The housing moratorium is set to end on December 26th, resulting in mortgage foreclosures and rental evictions,” the nonprofit wrote in a press release. “Many families are impacted, due to the pandemic that resulted in job loss, sickness and overall economy downturn.” The $5,000 grants will go to 100 individuals and families facing foreclosures or evictions. Recipients must provide all necessary documentation to the NAACP. The online application opens on Jan. 7, 2021. Funds will be disbursed in late January. Round 2 will open in February.
