T.I. cuts ribbon for housing project with Atlanta Mayor

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was attended by key figures such as Atlanta Mayor Andre Dickens and Atlanta Housing Chief Operating Officer Terri Lee.

Speaking at the ceremony Atlanta Housing’s COO Terri Lee described the project as “a remarkable multi-family development that stands out for its dedication to affordable housing and for providing housing for persons who were homeless.”

For T.I., the project was a testimony of the power of arts and entertainment to transform the lives of the people.

“The arts and entertainment industry in this city has been able to collaborate and be, I guess, profitable enough to offer the community so many things that are much-needed,” T.I. said.

Photos shared on Twitter showed T.I. nicely-dressed in sit and being helped to cut the ribbon by his wife, Tiny Harris, and others.
