💨 Abstract

Atlanta is working to eliminate homelessness before the 2026 World Cup. Efforts include housing over 400 homeless individuals by year-end, but challenges remain due to miscounts and long waitlists for supportive living spaces. After a man died when a bulldozer struck his tent, tensions rose as the city tried to clear encampments. While some residents accepted housing offers, others declined due to strict shelter rules or lack of documentation.
