Actor and film director Tyler Perry is donating $2.75 million to elderly homeowners in Atlanta to ensure they can stay in their homes.

A few weeks ago, Perry reached out to Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens to help fixed-income residents who could lose their homes due to rising property taxes, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported.

He donated $750,000 in the first year to cover back taxes and any property tax increases, and he has pledged $500,000 annually for the next four years to ensure residents stop paying those taxes.

The funds are managed by the Invest Atlanta Partnership, the not-for-profit arm of the Atlanta Economic Development Authority.
