Rock star Jon Bon Jovi and former President Bill Clinton have joined forces to restore crumbling homes in north Philadelphia, reports The Associated Press.
The two men plan to lead an effort to repair 15 homes in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity, the Saturn automobile company, and a local charity.
Mr. Bon Jovi, along with Richie Sambora, who plays in the Bon Jovi band, recently donated $1-million to Oprah Winfrey’s Angel Network and Habitat for Humanity to build homes in Houma, La., which was struck by Hurricane Katrina.
