Giving Back: Rapper T.I. Opens An Affordable Housing Development in Atlanta


...we have to make sure that the people who made this city and the culture of this city what it is, still have a place in this city and can afford to stay there. Somebody has to be a part of that charge.
- T.I. to Bilal and Troy Milling/'Earn Your Leisure Podcast

Clifford "T.I" Harris Jr. is dedicated to his city of Atlanta, GA.  Aside from reppin' in countless verses and highlighting the city in the self named movie, ATL, T.I. had his eyes set on a project for his own community.  In 2022, he spoke of a new mission to create a real estate development of affordable housing in his home area of Bankhead.  Fast forward to present day.  He made it happen.


He and his wife Tameka "Tiny" Harris were front and center at the ribbon cutting ceremony for the development this past Tuesday.  The Intrada Westside is comprised of 140+ apartments featuring an additional 25 units to accomodate homeless youth.

Located on Donald Lee Hollowell Parkway, opposite of Center Hill Park, this community effort is in partnership with T.I's Briarhouse Holdings, The Vecino Group, and the City of Atlanta.  
I love news like this.  Salute.
