Last year, Bobby Brown founded the Bobbi Kristina Brown Serenity House non-profit organization to offer help and support to victims of domestic violence. This week he and his manager wife, Alicia Etheredge, received a proclamation from the City of South Fulton Mayor Bill Edwards and other local officials saluting their plans to establish a 24-hour intervention center in Atlanta for female and male victims and survivors of all ages.

“Our family lives with the pain everyday of losing my beautiful daughter, Bobbi Kristina, to domestic violence,” the New Edition vet shared in a statement released just before the third anniversary of her death. “She loved Atlanta and in her memory we are proud to announce the formation of the Bobbi Kristina Serenity House. Our initial goal is to help educate women and men of all ages, by creating a 24-hour crisis intervention line and emergency transitional shelter.”

Bobbi Kristina Brown, 22, was found unresponsive in a bathtub in 2015 and died after six months in a coma.

Her estate sued her boyfriend, Nick Gordon, for wrongful death, accusing him of assault and other offenses. An attorney for Gordon called the charges baseless, but after Gordon failed to defend himself in the civil case, a judge ruled against him in 2016 and ordered him to pay $36 million.
