LeBron James opened his "I PROMISE" school over a year ago and now he plans to provide transitional housing for students and families in need of safe shelter.
The LeBron James Family Foundation and Graduate Hotels announced plans for the "I PROMISE Village by Graduate Hotels" to help I PROMISE students whose families might be fighting challenges such as homelessness, domestic violence or other traumatic or unsafe situations.
"Initially, our work was focused on helping these kids earn an education," James said in a statement. "But we've found that it is impossible to help them learn if they are struggling to survive -- if they are hungry, if they have no heat in the freezing winter, if they live in fear for their safety.
