Miley Cyrus raises $2.1 million for homeless women

Miley Cyrus has raised an impressive amount of money for a cause that is close to her heart. The singer joined forces with the Downtown Women’s Centre (DWC) in Los Angeles to support women and gender-diverse individuals experiencing homelessness.

The charitable initiative aims to help vulnerable people find safe and permanent housing while providing them with essential resources and support. During the event, Miley celebrated a major fundraising achievement, announcing that more than $2.1 million had been raised for the organisation’s HOME campaign.

The Flowers singer expressed her happiness over contributing to the fundraising effort and supporting the campaign’s vision of ensuring every woman has a place to call home.

Sharing her excitement, Miley highlighted the importance of the initiative and expressed pride in being part of an effort that works towards creating better living conditions for women in need.

The singer also revealed that her involvement with the Downtown Women’s Centre holds special meaning for her, particularly because she has been working alongside her mother, Tish Cyrus.

Miley thanked everyone who contributed to the fundraising success and suggested that her charitable work with the organisation would continue through future projects.

Miley was accompanied by her mother, Tish Cyrus, at the charitable event, where the two joined supporters in raising awareness about homelessness and the need for affordable housing.

Their participation reflects their shared commitment to helping women and vulnerable communities access essential services and stable living arrangements.

The mother-daughter duo has continued to support initiatives that address social challenges and improve the lives of people facing difficult circumstances.

Their work with the Downtown Women’s Centre has also helped bring greater attention to the struggles experienced by homeless women in Los Angeles.

Miley Cyrus Foundation supports homeless women

Miley launched The Miley Cyrus Foundation in late 2024 as an extension of her previous social impact work through the Happy Hippie Foundation.

The initiative focuses on supporting vulnerable communities and creating meaningful change through charitable projects and partnerships.

One of the foundation’s major initiatives involved renovating the Skid Row Day Centre and the lobby of a permanent housing residence operated by the Downtown Women’s Centre.

The improvements were designed to make these spaces safer, more welcoming and comfortable for the people who depend on them.

By investing in these facilities, the foundation aims to create environments where women can access services and receive support with greater dignity.

The renovation project also received furniture contributions from partners, including Lulu and Georgia, helping improve the overall appearance and functionality of the spaces.

Downtown Women’s Centre provides essential services

The Downtown Women’s Centre plays an important role in supporting women experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles.

Its Skid Row Day Centre serves more than 5,000 women annually, offering essential resources such as meals, hygiene supplies and access to critical support services.

These services help address immediate needs while connecting women with resources that can support their journey towards greater stability.

Access to permanent housing remains a key priority for the organisation, which works to ensure that women facing homelessness have opportunities to build safer and more secure futures.

Miley’s fundraising efforts are expected to help strengthen awareness of these challenges and encourage further support for the organisation’s mission.

Fundraising efforts and future collaborations

Miley and her mother have been recognised for their continued advocacy and contributions to the cause.

Their foundation has also supported fundraising efforts through matching donations, including a $75,000 contribution match during the Downtown Women’s Centre’s Every Woman Housed Gala initiatives.

In addition, Miley and Tish have worked directly with the organisation on awareness campaigns and fundraising projects, including limited-edition merchandise collaborations.

These initiatives provide additional opportunities to raise money while encouraging more people to become involved in the cause.

Miley’s latest fundraising achievement highlights her continued interest in using her public platform to support meaningful charitable work.

The announcement also coincides with the International Day of the Girl Child, observed annually on October 11. The day highlights the rights, opportunities and challenges facing girls around the world.

Through her partnership with the Downtown Women’s Centre, Miley continues to draw attention to the importance of safe housing, community support and better opportunities for vulnerable women.
