Megan Thee Stallion Funds Home Repairs for Seniors in Houston & Dallas

HOUSTON, TX – April 30, 2026 – Grammy-winning artist and philanthropist Megan Thee Stallion is deepening her commitment to her home state, announcing a major partnership between her Pete & Thomas Foundation and Habitat for Humanity. The collaboration will fund and execute critical home repairs for more than 30 older residents across Houston and Dallas, aiming to improve their quality of life and ability to live safely and independently.

The initiative, which is part of Habitat for Humanity’s established ‘Aging in Place’ program, will provide essential services including roofing, weatherproofing, structural stabilization, and mobility modifications like ramp installations. The effort officially kicks off on May 2nd in Houston’s historic South Park neighborhood, a community with deep personal significance for the artist.

A Homecoming with a Purpose

The timing of the launch is layered with significance. May 2nd was officially proclaimed “Megan Thee Stallion Day” in Houston in 2022 to honor her extensive philanthropic work. The kick-off also coincides with the start of Older Americans Month, a national observance recognizing the contributions of senior citizens.

“Caring for our older adults has always been a priority for me and making sure their homes are safe and well-maintained is a critical part of that commitment,” Megan Thee Stallion said in a statement. “I'm proud that the Pete & Thomas Foundation teamed up with Habitat for Humanity on this initiative because it goes beyond just fixing homes. It's about showing love and providing peace of mind to the generations that came before us.”

To mark the occasion, volunteers from the Pete & Thomas Foundation's “Hotties Helping” initiative will work alongside Habitat crews, assisting with tasks like caulking, painting, and landscaping. The hands-on involvement of her dedicated fanbase underscores the community-driven spirit of the project. In a creative nod to the partnership, Habitat for Humanity will also rename its “Let's Open the Door” housing awareness campaign to “Let's Open Thee Door” for one day, amplifying the call to action.

Addressing a Critical Need: Aging in Place

This partnership directly addresses a growing challenge across the nation. According to AARP, nearly 77% of older adults wish to remain in their homes long-term, a practice known as “aging in place.” However, many live in houses that have fallen into disrepair or lack the necessary features for evolving mobility and health needs. Habitat for Humanity’s ‘Aging in Place’ program is a direct response to this issue, providing a lifeline that preserves both homes and independence.

The program operates on a “Housing Plus” model, often beginning with an assessment by health or human services professionals to understand a homeowner's daily activities and specific needs. This holistic approach ensures that the repairs are not just structural but are tailored to enhance the resident's overall well-being. The work can range from installing grab bars and widening doorways to extensive weatherization and critical roof repairs.

“There is a strong connection between living in a safe and decent home and positive health outcomes, especially for older adults,” said Adrienne Goolsby, senior vice president of U.S. and Canada at Habitat for Humanity International. “Working together with Megan Thee Stallion and the Pete & Thomas Foundation, we are opening the door to both housing and health equity for older adults and ensuring they can age in place.”

Building Resilience in Vulnerable Communities

For communities in Houston and Dallas, the impact of these repairs extends beyond daily comfort and safety; it is a crucial investment in community resilience. In a region frequently battered by Gulf Coast weather events, a compromised roof or unstable foundation can be catastrophic for a vulnerable senior homeowner. This initiative directly fortifies homes against future storms and natural disasters.

“Megan Thee Stallion and the Pete & Thomas Foundation are making a lasting investment that strengthens neighborhoods like South Park,” said Allison Hay, CEO of Houston Habitat for Humanity. “As a Houstonian, she knows what this community means to people. By supporting repair work for senior homeowners, these families will not only be able to age in place with dignity but will also be prepared to withstand future Gulf Coast weather events.”

Since Hurricane Harvey, Houston Habitat has repaired over 900 homes for seniors and families, highlighting the persistent need. The current partnership will address a backlog of existing applications, including a grandmother in South Park whose home has a damaged roof and windows from a previous storm. For her and many others, these repairs are not a luxury but a necessity for a secure future.

A Foundation Built on Legacy and Action

Established in February 2022, the Pete & Thomas Foundation was created by Megan Thee Stallion to honor the memory of her late parents, Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete III. The nonprofit focuses on four core pillars: education, housing, health and wellness, and community goodwill. This partnership with Habitat for Humanity powerfully activates the housing and community pillars, demonstrating a tangible commitment to the foundation’s mission.

Since its inception, the foundation has partnered with over 170 organizations and provided support to more than 40,000 people. Its past work, including an emergency power program to protect elderly Houston residents during disasters, shows a sustained focus on the well-being of seniors. By fully funding the repairs for these 30-plus homes, the Pete & Thomas Foundation is making a significant financial investment that will have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of the recipients.

This collaboration serves as a powerful model, blending celebrity influence, dedicated fan-based volunteerism, and the proven expertise of a global nonprofit. For the senior homeowners in Houston and Dallas, this means more than just a new roof or a safe entryway; it represents a renewed sense of security, dignity, and the ability to comfortably remain in the homes and communities they love.
