Eminent domain
Between 2006 and 2014 three separate outbreaks of TB have been reported at the shelter. In August 2015, Mayor Kasim Reed declared that "Peachtree and Pine is one of the leading sites for tuberculosis in the nation" citing communications with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Further he stated that he would invoke Eminent domain to close the shelter and move its occupants to a new facility constructed by the city, while the Peachtree-Pine building would be converted to Police and Fire stations.
