Bon Jovi to Build Housing for Homeless With HIV/AIDS
Teaming with Newark Mayor Cory Booker and New Jersey Governor Jon Corzine, rocker Jon Bon Jovi plans to build 51 special-needs housing units that will provide support services for homeless people living with HIV/AIDS, The Star-Ledger reports.
The Genesis Apartments are a project of HELP USA, one of the nation’s leading housing assistance organizations, and Bon Jovi’s Philadelphia Soul Charitable Foundation.
According to the newspaper, single-parent families currently living in transitional housing will occupy most of the units in the Genesis Apartments complex, which will be environmentally friendly and feature geothermal heating and a 2,500 square foot community center.

Jon Bon Jovi is a New Jersey native, and a man who puts his money where his mouth is. While many celebrities talk the talk, Mr. Bon Jovi walks the walk as well. The people who will benefit from his actions are some of the most disenfranchised citizens of this country, and if more so-called stars would come to the aid of their fellow citizens, not just for the publicity, it would be a beautiful day indeed.
