The headline is misleading. A vacant secondary property that is maintained but boarded up is not the same as a family's primary residence, which "family home" implies. No one has become unhoused due to the demolition.
Doesn't change anything about how messed up it is to demolish the wrong property, though.

A homeowner is mulling the next step after a company mistakenly demolished a home she owned in south-west Atlanta.
Susan Hodgson said in an interview Saturday with the Associated Press that she found a pile of rubble in place of what used to be her longtime family property when she returned from vacation last month.
When a person in charge at the site checked his permit, Hodgson said he admitted he was at the wrong address.
Hodgson said she’s filed a report with police and has talked with lawyers but that they remain in limbo so far.
To this day, she said the Atlanta-based company responsible, You Call It We Haul It, has yet to contact her.
In a statement to WAGA-TV, the company said it is investigating and working to resolve the mishap.
