About This Short
Atlanta is racing to solve its homeless crisis — and this rapid housing project in Berkeley Park is the latest effort to make it happen.
Located near 17th and Northside Drive, this new development will turn shipping containers into 100 supportive housing units for people experiencing homelessness. Each unit will include a washer, dryer, and access to wraparound mental health services. The city says this is part of a larger plan to build 500 units by the end of 2025, just in time for the World Cup. But some are asking — is this real progress, or just a band-aid to make the city look good on the world stage?
Berkeley Park, Atlanta
