Several cities across the United States, Canada, and Mexico are implementing varying housing and enforcement measures to address homelessness in conjunction with the upcoming World Cup tournament.

美國、加拿大與墨西哥的幾個城市正採取不同的房屋與執法措施，以配合即將到來的世界盃賽事來處理無家可歸者問題。

The utilization of high-profile international events as catalysts for urban renewal is a documented historical precedent. For instance, during the 1996 Olympics, Atlanta authorities relocated approximately 9,000 individuals to detention centers or exported them via one-way transit. More recently, New Orleans, Paris, and Chicago employed similar displacement tactics during the Super Bowl, the Olympics, and the Democratic National Convention, respectively. These actions reflect a recurring tension between the perceived necessity of aesthetic urban sanitization and the systemic requirement for sustainable housing solutions.

利用高規格國際活動作為城市更新的催化劑，在歷史上已有記載。例如在 1996 年奧運期間，亞特蘭大當局將約 9,000 人移至拘留中心，或透過單程交通工具將其送走。近期，紐奧良、巴黎與芝加哥分別在超級盃、奧運會及民主黨全國代表大會期間，採取了類似的驅離策略。這些行動反映出，對美化城市環境的認知需求與對可持續房屋解決方案的系統性需求之間，存在著反覆出現的緊張關係。

Contemporary strategies among host cities exhibit significant divergence in methodology and funding. Atlanta's 'Downtown Rising' initiative has secured $185 million of a $235 million target to house 3,900 individuals. Similarly, Dallas reported an 87% reduction in downtown street homelessness following a $30 million campaign, although this was accompanied by police detentions of individuals refusing relocation. Seattle's efforts include the construction of 'tiny home' units, though Mayor Katie Wilson acknowledged a shortfall in the projected delivery of 500 units. Conversely, an Associated Press survey indicates that a majority of the 16 venues—including New York, Miami, and Toronto—are relying on existing infrastructure without supplementary tournament-specific funding.

當前主辦城市採取的策略在方法與資金上呈現顯著分歧。亞特蘭大的「市中心崛起」計畫已在 2.35 億美元的目標中籌得 1.85 億美元，用於安置 3,900 人。同樣地，達拉斯在投入 3,000 萬美元的行動後，報告指出市中心街頭的無家可歸人數減少了 87%，儘管這伴隨著警方對拒絕搬遷者的拘留。西雅圖的努力包括建設「微型屋」單元，但市長 Katie Wilson 承認 500 個單元的預期交付量存在缺口。相反地，美聯社的一項調查指出，包括紐約、邁阿密與多倫多在內的 16 個場地，大多數依賴現有基礎設施，而無額外的賽事專項資金。

On a broader regional scale, California has reported a 2.8% year-over-year decrease in its homeless population, the first such decline since 2018. This trend is attributed to a tripartite approach: the implementation of rent assistance programs to prevent eviction, the conversion of motels into supportive housing via Project Homekey, and the expansion of mental health services through Proposition 1. However, the efficacy of these measures is constrained by a systemic housing deficit and a shift in federal priorities. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) has announced a redistribution of $4 billion in aid, pivoting from 'Housing First' models toward 'recovery first' requirements, which may jeopardize the stability of permanent housing programs.

在更廣泛的區域規模上，加州報告其無家可歸人口同比下降 2.8%，為 2018 年以來首次下降。此趨勢歸因於三管齊下的方法：實施租金援助計畫以防止驅逐、透過 Project Homekey 將汽車旅館轉化為支持性住房，以及透過 Proposition 1 擴展心理健康服務。然而，這些措施的成效受限於系統性的房屋短缺以及聯邦優先事項的轉變。美國住房和城市發展部 (HUD) 宣布將 40 億美元的援助金重新分配，從「住房優先」模式轉向「恢復優先」要求，這可能會危及永久性住房計畫的穩定性。

While some municipalities have leveraged the World Cup to accelerate housing initiatives, others continue to rely on existing services or employ enforcement-led displacement.

雖然部分市政當局利用世界盃來加速房屋計畫，但其他城市仍繼續依賴現有服務或採取執法導向的驅離行動。
