About 20 people made their way to a bunk bed Friday in the tent that will house 350 single men and women. Two other giant tents will open later this month — one for families and one for veterans. The tents will house a total of 700 people.
More than 3,000 people have been living on the streets in the city. The city opened a temporary campground in October where 200 people lived in tents. They will be moved into one of the giant tents.
Verna Vasbinder, 47, was among the first to move from the campground.
