Some North American cities are using the upcoming World Cup as a catalyst to address homelessness. Atlanta launched a downtown program that has housed nearly 500 people. Dallas spent $10 million to reduce downtown street sleeping by 87%. Seattle is opening 75 tiny homes just before the tournament. However, an Associated Press survey found that most host cities are not adding new funding. Instead, officials in places like New York and Toronto say they are relying on existing programs. Meanwhile, activists report that some cities are still clearing encampments. They accuse officials of trying to hide the problem before tourists arrive.
