This game is a fictionalized account of what it takes to find shelter in Atlanta. It’s based on conversations with a dozen advocates, shelter operators and individuals who’ve navigated the city’s shelter system. While it may not capture everyone’s experience, the game is meant to highlight the challenges many face in accessing shelter.

Created for the story "Seeking Shelter," published on Cost of Living on August 2025.
