BREAKING NEWS: Chloe Kitts Buys Back Childhood Home — Turns It Into $2.9M Homeless Shelter to Honor Her Mother’s Dream
In a heartwarming act of love and service, basketball star Chloe Kitts has made headlines off the court by fulfilling a dream close to her mother’s heart. Quietly and without fanfare, the 6’2″ forward purchased her family’s childhood home in Washington, U.S., and announced plans to transform it into a state-of-the-art homeless shelter and community resource center.
The property, bought for $2.9 million, will be fully renovated into a shelter that can house up to 40 individuals at a time. It will also include on-site counseling, job placement services, a community kitchen, and educational programs—resources Chloe said her family once needed themselves.
> “This house gave me my first dream. My mom always told me, ‘If you ever get the chance, do something big with it.’ This is for her—and for every family who just needs someone to believe in them,” Kitts shared in an emotional video posted to her Instagram.
The home will be named “Sandra’s House”, in honor of her mother, Sandra Kitts, who spent much of her life advocating for unhoused women and children. The official ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for this fall, with community leaders, former teammates, and volunteers all expected to attend.
Fans and fellow athletes have flooded social media with praise for Kitts, calling her move “heroic,” “humble,” and “the kind of leadership the world needs.”
