Rihanna teamed up with Twitter founder, Jack Dorsey, to co-fund a $4.2 million grant for domestic violence victims in LA affected by COVID-19 with Rihanna contributing $2.1 million. Rihanna’s funds will provide 10 weeks of shelter, meals, and counseling for individuals suffering from domestic violence. This contribution is much-needed as L.A. has a mandatory shelter in place order that resulted in overwhelming numbers of people being turned away from shelters.
According to a report by The Los Angeles Housing Authority, approximately that shelters had to turn away 90 people per week because of capacity issues and more people turning to shelters. The $4.2 million grant covers food and housing for 90 applicants per week, with an additional 90 people every week after 10 weeks.
