ATL Seeks Contract to Aid Homeless People Located in Terminal

Officials at Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport (ATL) are looking to sign a $180,000 contract with HOPE Atlanta, an agency devoted to helping the homeless, in order to relocate the people taking shelter in the airport’s domestic terminal.

This is a different situation from that in an international terminal where a passenger is unexpectedly refused entry into the country.
