HOUSTON, April 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Today, Megan Thee Stallion’s Pete & Thomas Foundation and Habitat for Humanity announced a partnership to repair the homes of older residents across Houston and Dallas aimed at improving the quality of life for older adults in both communities.

The initiative, which is part of Habitat’s Aging in Place program, provides essential home repairs, including roofing, weatherproofing, critical structural stabilization, ramp installations and other home mobility modifications to help older residents live safely in their homes.

The joint effort to repair more than 30 homes will kick off May 2nd in the South Park neighborhood of Houston, Texas and coincides with Megan Thee Stallion Day in the city, which was established in 2022 to honor the three-time, Grammy award-winning artist’s philanthropic work. Hotties Helping, an initiative of the Pete & Thomas Foundation, will have Hottie volunteers join Habitat volunteers during the day to assist with caulking, painting and landscaping.

“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 said. “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.”

The home-repair work will help kick off Older Americans Month in May, a time to recognize the contributions of older adults and reaffirm commitments to supporting their health and independence.

Also on May 2^nd Habitat is for one day renaming it’s Let’s Open the Door Campaign — launched in March to raise awareness of the housing crisis and inspire action — to Let’s Open Thee Door and joining Megan in shining a light on the need to open up more opportunities for dignified, healthy living among older residents. Nearly 77% of older adults — one of the fastest-growing demographics in America — say they want to remain in their homes long term, according to the AARP. Yet many live in housing that is either in disrepair or was never designed for mobility, accessibility, or changing health needs.

Through Habitat’s Aging in Place program, local Habitat affiliates work in partnership with human services and community-based organizations to provide critical home repairs, modifications and services specific to each homeowner’s lifestyle to help preserve their home, their independence, and quality of life.

“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.”

Megan originally established the non-profit organization in February 2022 as a way to uplift and assist women, children, older adults and other underserved communities and honor the memory of her late parents – Holly Thomas and Joseph Pete III. 

The organization focuses on four core pillars – education, housing, health and wellness, and community goodwill. Through this collaboration with Habitat for Humanity, the Pete & Thomas Foundation aims to support older adults by helping ensure their homes are safe, stable, and better equipped with the necessary infrastructure, especially in the event of natural disasters or unexpected emergencies.

“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.”

Photos of the Megan Thee Stallion Day volunteer activity will be available here on May 2^nd and updated throughout the day.
