Before month's end, City Hall officials say, police and social workers will dismantle the tent city downtown and move its homeless denizens to a huge tent in Central City, where they will sleep in triple-decker bunks and must stay clean of drugs and booze.
The move marks a departure in philosophy and in nonprofit partners. The city now plans to partner with the New Orleans Mission, rather than UNITY for the Homeless.
