Production company helps house activists amid clash over city’s homeless policies By Ben Abrams and Sean Keenan Editor’s Note: Atlanta Intown has partnered with nonprofit journalism organization Atlanta Civic Circle (atlantaciviccircle. org) to bring our readers more indepth coverage about the critical issues surrounding affordable housing in the city. A production company set to shoot a TV show downtown helped put homeless activists up in hotel rooms on
July 13, after local leaders told them they couldn’t camp in tents along the sidewalk. Activists with the Atlanta Homeless Union, a new advocacy group demanding more resources for unhoused people, claimed crews with Central Atlanta Progress’s Atlanta Downtown Improvement District (ADID) team robbed them of their tents and other belongings. But that’s not the full picture,
