The Downtown Women’s Center (DWC) honored Miley Cyrus and Tish Cyrus-Purcell at its 2026 Every Woman Housed Gala on October 10, recognizing their leadership, philanthropy, and commitment to supporting women and survivors of violence experiencing homelessness in Los Angeles. The event brought together close to 600 community leaders, advocates, corporate partners, and supporters and the gala raised $2.2 million for DWC’s BER Home Campaign to help fund housing programs and supportive services. The Miley Cyrus Foundation also is contributing a $1 million gift to supporting the HOME Campaign in recognition of 97 new apartments at Rosa’s Place, a housing development under construction in Skid Row. Miley shared, “One of the most meaningful parts of our partnership has been meeting the women at DWC and hearing their stories. Their strength, resilience, and hope stay with me long after I leave. It’s an honor to support DWC as it creates opportunities for women to heal, rebuild, and feel at home.”
