Jade Jones, a champion taekwondo athlete and fierce advocate for youth outreach, added:

 

> “We wanted to do more than donate to a cause. We wanted to **build real, lasting solutions**. This isn’t just about shelter — it’s about dignity, security, and hope.”

* **Create 300 emergency shelter beds** with trauma-informed care and 24/7 wraparound services

* **Provide job training, childcare, and mental health support** at the new facilities

* Launch a new initiative called **“Hope Court”**, which will partner with the city to **divert at-risk youth and vulnerable individuals from the criminal justice system into community programs**
