A tent city is a temporary housing facility made using tents or other temporary structures. Informal tent cities may be set up without authorization by homeless people or protesters. As well, state governments or military organizations set up tent cities to house refugees, evacuees, or soldiers. Tent cities set up by homeless people may be similar to shanty towns, which are informal settlements in which the buildings are made from scrap building materials.
Military
In the military, the term "tent city" usually refers to temporary living quarters erected on deployed military bases, such as those found in Bosnia and Herzegovina or Iraq. Depending on the branch of service and the length of time the tent city has been in place, the living space may be equipped with most modern amenities. For sanitary reasons, military tent cities place toilet, shower, and laundry facilities at least 50 feet (15m) from living quarters. Also, tents are typically divided into clusters of 8-10 to prevent the rapid spread of fire, which is of utmost concern because of the tent and bedding materials.
Tent City 4 is a homeless encampment of up to 100 persons operated by homeless residents and sponsored by 501(c)(3) organizations Seattle Housing and Resources Effort (SHARE) and Women's Housing Equality and Enhancement League (WHEEL). The camp was created in May 2004 and limits itself to places of worship in eastern King County outside of Seattle. Minors are not allowed in Tent City 4, although there is a provision for emergency situations. Residents may use their own tents or community tents that are segregated by gender. Dumpsters, portable toilets and a shower, paid for by SHARE, are provided to address sanitation concerns. In order to control access to the encampment, there is only one entry/exit to the camp that is guarded at all times.
Unlike its sister tent city in Seattle, Tent City 3, which moves around Seattle with little to no resistance (citation and evidence needed to back up this statement. Much evidence is available to the contrary-- Seattle communities have opposed tent cities, with the exception of Seattle Pacific University). Tent City 4's meanderings are often met with stiff resistance from some residents of the communities it moves into. King County and many of the cities therein have subsequently established land-use codes in an attempt to balance the desire of faith-based organizations to host the camp and the concerns of some of its neighbors over health and safety.
Tent City, USA is a KGW investigative project that explores who Portland’s homeless tent campers are and what led to the proliferation of tent camps across the city. Tent City, USA was reported and produced by KGW's investigative team.

Tent City Diaries (#4) B-Street Chaos & The Clean Up Begins!
Never have I felt so threatened as when I dared to film a public street in Olympia WA that has been taken over by homeless squatters! A group of four surrounded me, including an Antifa member blowing an air horn in my face, while others shouted. This is life as a YouTuber in a town where the streets have gone to crap.

Update: Derrick Is Back Homeless in an Oakland Tent City
Before you all start leaving comments about Derrick wearing an Invisible People shirt, it's all Derrick. I had nothing to do with it. Honest! Derrick and I spent the day exploring homeless encampments in Oakland and Berkeley, and this was the shirt he wore.
Most of you know Derrick from his first interview https://youtu.be/XZComkkxeEI or the VR180 feature we did with YouTube on his homeless camp https://youtu.be/ftMifFpUWCQ. Derrick also helps moderate our live streams on Sunday night.
Since his first Invisible People interview, Derrick was to go into housing, but the housing organization working with Derrick was shady, and the housing never happened. Derrick was lucky to find a shared living arrangement, so he was off the streets for close to a year, but sadly, Derrick is now back ou...

Since his first Invisible People interview, Derrick was to go into housing, but the housing organization working with Derrick was shady, and the housing never happened. Derrick was lucky to find a shared living arrangement, so he was off the streets for close to a year, but sadly, Derrick is now back outside homeless in Oakland.
At the time of this interview, Derrick was sleeping at the tent camp one full week. We were messaging back and forth on his first night, and Derrick was having trouble sleeping because the rats were too loud. Can you imagine not having any choice except to sleep in an infestation of rodents?
Derrick is amazing. He's still running for Mayor of Oakland https://www.facebook.com/Derrick-Soo-for-City-of-Oakland-Mayor-2022-975183006011778/, he's spearheading a tiny home village, and he's helping homeless people every day connecting them to services. Kymberli and Lenton are just one of many examples of people Derrick has helped https://youtu.be/Bue7D8xzPRc.
Driving around with Derrick, he was trying to show me tent cities. I remember telling him I have walked through tent encampments all over the country, but later the day really hit me hard. Homeless camps in Oakland and Berkley are everywhere, and they are growing. What stuck with me is homelessness like this is the future of America unless we take action now to fix the affordable housing crisis and end homelessness.
Here's a couple that was helped by Derrick:

About Invisible People
There is a direct correlation between what the general public perceives about homelessness and how it affects policy change. Most people blame homelessness on the person experiencing it instead of the increasing shortage of affordable housing, lack of employment, a living wage or the countless reasons that put a person at risk. This lack of understanding creates a dangerous cycle of misperception that leads to the inability to effectively address the root causes of homelessness.
We imagine a world where everyone has a place to call home. Each day, we work to fight homelessness by giving it a face while educating individuals about the systemic issues that contribute to its existence. Through storytelling, education, news, and activism, we are changing the narrative on homelessness.
This isn’t just talk. Each year, our groundbreaking educational content reaches more than a billion people across the globe. Our real and unfiltered stories of homelessness shatter stereotypes, demand attention and deliver a call-to-action that is being answered by governments, major brands, nonprofit organizations, and everyday citizens just like you.
However, there is more work to be done on the road ahead. Homelessness is undoubtedly one of our biggest societal issues today and will only continue to grow if we don’t take action now.
Invisible People is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to educating the public about homelessness through innovative storytelling, news, and advocacy. Since our launch in 2008, Invisible People has become a pioneer and trusted resource for inspiring action and raising awareness in support of advocacy, policy change and thoughtful dialogue around poverty in North America and the United Kingdom.

A tent city is a temporary housing facility made using tents or other temporary structures. Informal tent cities may be set up without authorization by homeless people or protesters. As well, state governments or military organizations set up tent cities to house refugees, evacuees, or soldiers. Tent cities set up by homeless people may be similar to shanty towns, which are informal settlements in which the buildings are made from scrap building materials.
Military
In the military, the term "tent city" usually refers to temporary living quarters erected on deployed military bases, such as those found in Bosnia and Herzegovina or Iraq. Depending on the branch of service and the length of time the tent city has been in place, the living space may be equipped with most modern amenities. For sanitary reasons, military tent cities place toilet, shower, and laundry facilities at least 50 feet (15m) from living quarters. Also, tents are typically divided into clusters of 8-10 to prevent the rapid spread of fire, which is of utmost concern because of the tent and bedding materials.
On the road thritydays alone. These tired nights drives take us further from home. These nights, through the highs and lows. Dark eyed and dreamy with no place to go. Afraid of what's to come. Tomorrow's lights flicker in you heads. These days aren't long enough, we make the most, it's just not long enough. Waking up on cold floors with numb hips and crooked spines. We're breaking through the memories we should have left behind. Crushing thoughts from passing towns repeating through our fragile minds. We're breaking through the memories we should have left behind. I don't want to feel this way anymore. This is the only thing picking me up off the floor. I don't want to feel like this anymore. This is the only thing picking me up off the floor. 500 miles and all we're seeing are open spaces. We're breaking through the memories we should have left behind. Waking up on cold floors with numb hips and crooked spines. Crushing thoughts from passing towns repeating through our fragile minds. We're breaking through the memories. We're breaking through the memories.
