The FIFA World Cup has arrived in Atlanta, but what happens when the cameras leave?

In a guest column published by SaportaReport, Our House CEO Tyese Lawyer draws a direct and compelling line from the 1996 Atlanta Olympics to today. Her argument: the investments Atlanta makes in its families are as important as the investments it makes in its stadiums and streets, and they need to outlast the spotlight.

Between 130 and 150 families experience homelessness on any given night in metro Atlanta. Tyese writes about what it would mean for that number if Atlanta chose to sustain the energy of this World Cup moment through partnerships with organizations doing the long, quiet work of moving families from crisis to stability, generation after generation.

This is a civic call to action written for anyone who believes Atlanta’s best investment is in its people. Read the column in SaportaReport and share it with your network.
