The City of San Diego's two safe sleeping sites opened last year with hopes of providing those experiencing homelessness with a safe place to stay while also connecting them to wrap-around services. CBS 8 is Working for You to find out if the money spent on the tent city is making a difference in helping people get off the streets. If you've driven by the sites — one at 20th and B street in Golden Hill at the city's Central Operations Yard, and the other at the O Lot in Balboa Park — then you may have noticed the red tents have faded from sun exposure and many have blue tarps draped over them. As CBS 8 found out, there is a reason for that. “The reason that people are seeing tarps over the tents is the tents leak, condensation gets in them,” said Janis Wilds, outreach specialist for Housing 4 the Homeless. “These tents faded quickly, and when that fading happens the fabric deteriorates and you get more leakage, so people need some kind of shade over the tent.” FULL STORY: https://www.cbs8.com/article/news/local/working-for-you/san-diegos-safe-sleeping-sites-working/509-0b317def-d7f8-4746-9461-a066037591a7
