Peachtree-Pine shelter
The Peachtree-Pine homeless shelter is located at 477 Peachtree Street NE, at the corner of Pine Street in the SoNo subdistrict of Downtown Atlanta, just south of Midtown. The 〔("Peachtree-Pine homeless shelter in foreclosure — again" ), Scott Henry, ''Creative Loafing'', November 13, 2009〕 building, which is within sight of Fox Theatre and Bank of America Plaza, stretches from Peachtree Street in the front to Courtland Street in the back. It is currently run by the Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless, whose executive director is Anita Beaty. The facility can house up to 700 homeless men each night,〔("Atlanta's largest homeless shelter loses appeal over water-bill dispute with city", Thomas Wheatley, ''Creative Loafing'', January 16, 2013 )〕 although some sources say it can house up to 1000.〔("Judge Schwall orders the closing of Peachtree-Pine homeless shelter by Aug. 31", ''Saporta Report'', February 3, 2012 )〕
Almost since its opening in 1997, neighbors and neighborhood organizations have complained 〔("Community continues to be victimized by Peachtree-Pine criminals", Midtown Ponce Security Alliance "Eye on Midtown", November 2013. )〕 about unsanitary conditions, loitering, drug sales, and violent crimes
〔("Taxi driver attacked by several men outside Peachtree-Pine homeless shelter", Hunt Archbold, "Midtown Patch", January 2013 )〕〔("Man stabbed multiple times outside Peachtree-Pine shelter", Hunt Archbold, "Midtown Patch", February 2013 )〕〔("18-year-old shot, killed near downtown shelter", Mike Morris, Atlanta Journal Constitution, June 3, 2009 )〕 in the immediate vicinity of the shelter, to a degree far more intense than occurs around other shelters in the city, blaming poor management of Peachtree-Pine as the root cause.〔 The shelter has also been the site of Tuberculosis outbreaks.〔("Fulton investigating TB outbreak at three Atlanta homeless shelters", Madeleine Thompson, "Creative Loafing", May 16, 2014 )〕 In 2014,
Mayor Kaseem Reed declared that "Peachtree-Pine is awful. It has rampant drug sales, and it poses a serious risk to the health of people in the City of Atlanta”.〔("Reed: City Has Plan To Aid Homeless If Shelter's Water Is Turned Off", Michelle Wirth, WABE, Atlanta's NPR Station, September 23, 2014 )〕
The Task Force, on the other hand, has filed multiple lawsuits accusing the city officials, downtown business organizations, and Emory University (which operates a hospital across from the shelter) of having conspired to dry up its funding sources and force it out of business through Tortious interference, Defamation and other illegal means.
The shelter's troubled relations with the surrounding community, including its long running legal battles with the City Hall and other organizations, have been covered extensively in local publications such as Atlanta Journal Constitution, Creative Loafing, and Atlanta Business Chronicle. There have also been in depth reports 〔("Battle of Atlanta: Fight over a Downtown Homeless Shelter Strains Some Down-Home Ties", Terry Carter, "American Bar Association Journal", May 2011 )〕 in national media.
