Page Six reports that Steven Tyler has opened Janie's House for abused girls in Atlanta, George. His charity Janie's fund, named after the Aerosmith son Janie's Got a Gun, seeks to fight the abuse of girls and young women. The shelter in Atlanta, the first that the charity has opened, will be able to house 30 girls and provide them with therapy and medical care.
Tyler's own experiences with rehab inspired him to open Janie's House; he states, “When girls come in and they’re broken and battered and have their problems and get out, they have somewhere to go. It’s a safe haven, and more than anything, it gives them a voice. That’s what we want in the end, for them to be able to figure out what’s going on and be good from the inside out and pass it on.”
