## Summary

Queen Latifah is helping bring affordable housing to families in Newark, the city where she grew up, through her upcoming BET documentary, *You Can Go Home Again*. The project connects her personal history and longstanding commitment to community empowerment with a major moment in her career: her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.

Latifah says she wanted to build homes she and her family could have afforded, including her mother, who raised two children on a teacher’s salary. She credits Procter & Gamble with supporting community projects and says the housing work is intended to give residents a place to live and build their futures. The documentary is scheduled to premiere on 27 November; Latifah is due to receive the Hall’s Early Influence Award on 14 November, alongside artists including Wu-Tang Clan and MC Lyte.
