Houston-native and singer Beyoncé Knowles is extending relief to families who are at risk of losing their homes after the federal moratorium on foreclosures and evictions expired Saturday.

“This holiday season, while many are stressed with what they will do next regarding their housing, we are proud to share some GOOD news.

Beyoncé is giving $5,000 grants to individuals and families facing foreclosures or evictions,” according to a news release posted last week on the singer’s website.

Applications will open Jan. 7, and all necessary documentation must be provided to the NAACP. One hundred recipients will be selected and grants disbursed in late January. Round 2 will open in February.

This grant program is part of a larger campaign called BeyGOOD, which worked with the NAACP to support Black-owned small businesses impacted by the pandemic, so far providing 250 businesses with $10,000 grants.

She also set up mobile Covid-19 testing sites with her mother, Tina Knowles-Lawson, in Houston. She put this effort together in May, when Texas was lagging behind most states for coronavirus testing.
