Peachtree-Pine homeless shelter has a home
Judge appears to side with task force in battle against city, Central Atlanta Progress
Scott Henry's down at Fulton County Superior Court today, where it appears the Metro Atlanta Task Force for the Homeless has scored a victory in their battle to remain in the Peachtree/Pine shelter.
Henry says Judge Craig Schwall is hearing the Task Force's arguments that the city and Central Atlanta Progress conspired to boot the controversial nonprofit from the massive downtown building it recently lost to foreclosure.
While the purpose of today's hearing was to decide whether new building owner Manny Fialkow should be allowed to evict the task force, Henry says the judge has focused nearly all his questions on Fialkow's role in the alleged conspiracy to oust the nonprofit.
"There's a difference of opinion about whether the people being served by the Metro Task Force for the Homeless are being served in a positive way," Schwall said. "It's not for me to figure that out."
