Cities in the US, Canada, and Mexico are preparing for the World Cup. They want to help homeless people or move them away from the streets.

美國、加拿大與墨西哥的城市正在為世界盃做準備。他們希望幫助無家可歸者，或將他們從街道上移走。

In the past, some cities moved homeless people to jails or other cities during big games. This made the streets look clean, but it did not solve the problem.

過去，一些城市在大賽期間會將無家可歸者移至監獄或其他城市。這讓街道看起來很乾淨，但並沒有解決問題。

Now, some cities spend money on homes. Atlanta and Dallas are building houses for thousands of people. Seattle is building very small houses. But some cities, like New York and Toronto, have no new money for this.

現在，一些城市投入資金興建房屋。亞特蘭大和達拉斯正在為數千人建造房屋。西雅圖則在興建非常微型的房屋。但有些城市，例如紐約和多倫多，並沒有新資金來執行此計畫。

California is helping more people. They pay rent for poor people and turn old hotels into homes. They also give more help for mental health. However, the US government is changing how it gives money, and this may cause problems.

加州正在幫助更多的人。他們為貧困人口支付租金，並將舊酒店改建為住宅。他們還提供了更多精神健康方面的援助。然而，美國政府正在改變撥款方式，這可能會導致問題。

Some cities use the World Cup to build new homes. Other cities just move homeless people away.

一些城市利用世界盃興建新房屋，而其他城市僅僅將無家可歸者移走。

Several cities in the United States, Canada, and Mexico are introducing different housing and police measures to deal with homelessness before the upcoming World Cup tournament.

美國、加拿大與墨西哥的幾個城市，在即將到來的世界盃賽事前，正採取不同的住房與警政措施以應對無家者問題。

Historically, cities have used major international events to change their urban areas. For example, during the 1996 Olympics, Atlanta officials moved about 9,000 people to detention centers or sent them away. More recently, cities like New Orleans, Paris, and Chicago used similar methods to remove homeless people during the Super Bowl and other big events. These actions show a constant conflict between the desire to make cities look clean for tourists and the actual need for long-term housing solutions.

歷史上，城市經常利用大型國際賽事來改造城市區域。例如在1996年奧運期間，亞特蘭大官員將約9,000人移至拘留中心或將其驅離。近期，新奧爾良、巴黎與芝加哥等城市在超級盃及其他大型活動期間，也採取類似方法移除無家者。這些行動顯示，在希望讓城市在遊客面前顯得乾淨與對長期住房方案的實際需求之間，始終存在著衝突。

Currently, host cities are using different methods and budgets. Atlanta's 'Downtown Rising' project has raised $185 million of its $235 million goal to provide homes for 3,900 people. Similarly, Dallas reported an 87% drop in downtown homelessness after a $30 million campaign, although police arrested some people who refused to move. Seattle is building 'tiny homes,' but Mayor Katie Wilson admitted they have not yet reached their goal of 500 units. In contrast, an Associated Press survey shows that most of the 16 venues, including New York and Toronto, are using existing services without extra funding for the tournament.

目前，主辦城市正採取不同的方法與預算。亞特蘭大的「市中心崛起」計畫在2.35億美元的目標中已籌得1.85億美元，旨在為3,900人提供住房。同樣地，達拉斯在投入3,000萬美元的行動後，報告指出市中心的無家者減少了87%，儘管警方逮捕了部分拒絕搬離的人。西雅圖正在興建「微型屋」，但市長 Katie Wilson 承認尚未達到500個單位的目標。相比之下，美聯社的一項調查顯示，包括紐約與多倫多在內的16個場館，大多數僅使用現有服務，而未為賽事提供額外資金。

On a larger scale, California has seen a 2.8% decrease in its homeless population, which is the first drop since 2018. This is due to three main strategies: rent assistance to prevent eviction, turning motels into supportive housing, and increasing mental health services. However, these efforts are limited by a general lack of housing. Furthermore, the federal government is changing its priorities. The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) is moving $4 billion in aid away from 'Housing First' models toward 'recovery first' requirements, which could make permanent housing programs less stable.

在更大規模的層面上，加州的無家者人口減少了2.8%，這是自2018年以來的首次下降。這歸功於三大策略：提供租金補助以防止被驅逐、將汽車旅館轉為支援性住房，以及增加心理健康服務。然而，這些努力受限於整體住房短缺。此外，聯邦政府正改變其優先事項。美國住房與城市發展部（HUD）正將40億美元的援助金從「住房優先」模式轉向「康復優先」要求，這可能會使永久住房計畫變得不穩定。

While some cities have used the World Cup to speed up their housing projects, others are still relying on old services or using police to move homeless people away.

雖然部分城市利用世界盃加速其住房計畫，但其他城市仍依賴舊有服務或使用警方手段將無家者驅離。

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。
