Kansas City, MO — Kansas City Chiefs star tight end Travis Kelce is making headlines off the field for his extraordinary act of kindness and community leadership. In a remarkable philanthropic move, Kelce has purchased a $3.3 million mansion in Kansas City with the intent of transforming it into a transitional living facility for homeless youth.
The 6,500-square-foot property features six bedrooms, five bathrooms, a game room, a dedicated study area, and spacious outdoor spaces—offering far more than just shelter. The mansion will serve as a place of hope, stability, and growth for young people facing housing insecurity.
Kelce is partnering with Foster Love, a nonprofit organization committed to supporting homeless and foster youth. Together, they aim to provide not only a roof over these young people’s heads but also access to mentorship programs, educational support, life skills training, and a nurturing environment that promotes independence and long-term success.
“This isn’t just about a house—it’s about building a future,” Kelce shared in a statement. “These kids deserve a chance to thrive, and I want to be part of making that happen.”
This initiative is a powerful extension of Kelce’s long-standing commitment to social impact through his foundation, Eighty-Seven & Running. The organization focuses on empowering at-risk youth in Kansas City and his hometown of Cleveland Heights, Ohio, by providing resources, experiences, and guidance that help shape brighter futures.
Kelce’s efforts are being widely praised as a model of athlete-driven philanthropy. In an era when professional athletes are increasingly using their platforms to influence change, Kelce’s work stands out for its direct, tangible impact on the lives of some of society’s most vulnerable.
With this project, Kelce is not just giving back—he’s changing lives and sending a powerful message: that everyone, no matter their background, deserves a place to call home and a shot at success.
