Johari Matthews, Vice President and Executive Director of ONE Community and the Titans Foundation, said there was a wide range of first-time homeowners who were able to move into new homes, from single parents to elderly adults who owning home first time, at Sunday's event.
"It is incredibly important for us, a meaningful moment for us to be a part of," Matthews said.
Lauren Payne, Chief Philanthropy Officer for Habitat for Humanity of Greater Nashville, called it a special day.
"These moments, as these families are pursuing their dream of home ownership," Payne said, "I like to say that it is not that you see that there is a problem with the affordable housing community, but our partners, like the Titans, stepped up and said there is a problem and we want do something about it."
Simmons, a three-time Titans nominee for the NFL's Walter Payton Man of the Year award, said he was happy to be a part of it.
And, in the future, he plans to keep doing more.
Since launching the Give Em A Reason Foundation in 2022, Simmons has consistently been active in communities in Nashville, and back home in Mississippi.
"I'm grateful to be in this position," Simmons said, "and praise God for (putting me) in a position to be a light and help out her family."
