**BREAKING NEWS: Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne Donate Entire \$12.9 Million Bonus to Fund Homeless Shelter Housing Initiative**
In a heartfelt act of generosity, **Ozzy Osbourne** and his wife **Sharon Osbourne** have donated their entire **\$12.9 million bonus and sponsorship earnings** to launch a bold new initiative aimed at combating homelessness in Los Angeles and beyond. The donation will directly fund the development of **150 permanent housing units** and **300 shelter beds**, offering hope, dignity, and safety to hundreds in need.
“I’ve seen the effects of homelessness firsthand growing up,” Ozzy shared in an emotional statement. “I knew, if I was ever in a place to do something meaningful, I would. And now’s the time.”
The project, called **The Osbourne Haven Initiative**, will break ground later this year in East L.A., in partnership with local nonprofits, housing developers, and the city council. The shelter will not only provide beds, but also offer **mental health support, job placement programs, addiction recovery services, and 24-hour care staff**.
Sharon added, “We’re not just building beds—we’re building a pathway. These people deserve a shot to get back on their feet with support, not just sympathy.”
The Osbournes have also pledged to cover operational costs for the first 18 months, ensuring the shelter will open fully staffed and equipped. Their goal is to inspire others in the entertainment industry to step up and help address the homelessness crisis that continues to grow across urban areas in America.
Fans around the world have praised the gesture, calling it one of the most meaningful contributions ever made by public figures in rock and entertainment.
As Ozzy put it simply:
> “This world gave me a second chance. It’s time I help someone else get theirs.”
Construction is set to be
gin in early 2026.
