World Cup Spotlight on Homelessness

Atlanta’s World Cup prep is spotlighting its homelessness crisis, with Downtown Rising housing nearly 500—but not everyone’s reached. As cities nationwide rush to meet tournament deadlines, most rely on old programs without new funding, while national homelessness climbs. Past events often led to sweeps and detentions, but Atlanta claims a new, housing-focused approach. Success stories exist, but health hurdles and service gaps persist. Seattle missed its shelter deadline, while Inglewood, Toronto, and Vancouver lean on existing systems. Yet, crackdowns in Canada raise alarms—advocates insist the World Cup isn’t fixing homelessness; it’s exposing the need for lasting, compassionate solutions.
