On March 8, four months after the Astroworld Festival tragedy, Scott announced via Instagram that he launched Project HEAL, a $5-million initiative aimed at marginalized and at-risk communities. "Over the past few months I've been taking the time and space to grieve, reflect and do my part to heal my community," his statement began. "Most importantly, I want to use my resources and platform moving forward towards actionable change. This will be a lifelong journey for me and my family."
The 31-year-old rapper went on to explain how he hopes that Project HEAL can offer real solutions when it comes to ensuring the safety of concertgoers at large-scale events going forward. He also added that the victims of the Astroworld tragedy will remain in his heart forever.
He concluded: "Giving back and creating opportunities for the youth is something I've always done and will continue to do as long as I have the chance. This program will be a catalyst to real change and I can't wait to introduce the rest of the technology and ideas we've been working on. See you all so soon 🤎🤎🤎"
