May 2, in partnership with Megan Thee Stallion’s Pete & Thomas Foundation, we’re opening the door even wider with Let’s Open Thee Door. 

As part of Megan Thee Stallion Day, this Houston-based event brings national attention to aging in place as a critical component of building strong, resilient communities.

The partnership supports critical home repairs for more than 30 older-adult households in Houston and Dallas, reflecting Megan Thee Stallion’s Houston roots and a shared commitment to community-centered impact.

Kicking off in Houston’s South Park neighborhood , volunteers from Habitat and the Pete & Thomas Foundation’s Hotties Helping initiative will tackle repairs like improving accessibility, painting, caulking and landscaping.

To mark the day, Habitat will temporarily rename its Let’s Open the Door campaign—launched in March to raise awareness of the housing crisis—to Let’s Open Thee Door, joining Megan Thee Stallion in spotlighting the urgent need to expand access to safe, dignified housing for older adults.

“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.”

Meet one of our homeowners

Carolyn, a lifelong Houston resident, wants to remain in the community she has always called home.  For Carolyn, this house is more than a place to live -- it’s part of a lifelong network of relationships, including neighbors she has known since childhood and who are like family. Staying in the home where she raised her children represents stability, identity, and connection.  

Strengthening neighborhoods and homes

Across the United States, more than 19 million older adults live in homes that no longer meet their needs, putting their health, safety and independence at risk.

 

 

 

 

Together, Habitat and the Pete & Thomas Foundation support aging in place efforts to:

  • Help older adults remain safely in their homes.
  • Strengthen communities through housing stability.
  • Improve health and dignity through critical home repairs.
  • Raise awareness of housing challenges facing older adults.
  • Improve accessibility through home modifications that reduce mobility and safety barriers.
