(AP) &#8211; Nearly 100 homeless people who live in a &#8220;tent city&#8221; in downtown Reno now must register with the city and prove they are looking for housing and services, city officials said.<br \/>\nThose who fail to comply with the new rules will lose the right to stay at the encampment, city spokesman Kevin Knutson said.<br \/>\nThe city devised the rules in an effort to connect individuals with services, he said. Campers must re-register every seven days,<br \/>\nand stays will be limited to 30 days.<br \/>\n&#8220;What we&#8217;re trying to do is show that this is a temporary situation and give them a sense of urgency to accept our help and work with the service providers,&#8221; Knutson told the Reno Gazette-Journal.<br \/>\nOfficials blame overflow conditions at local shelters and a tight economy for the camp&#8217;s emergence in recent months. The camp has been allowed by the city because of its proximity to food services and a men&#8217;s shelter for the homeless.<br \/>\nRick Redding, executive director of the Reno-Sparks Gospel Mission, said he&#8217;s happy to see ground rules for the camp.<br \/>\n&#8220;Holding them accountable is a great thing,&#8221; Redding said. &#8220;To give some structure and organization to this is an excellent move by the city.&#8221;<br \/>\nThe city issued other rules for the encampment, including a quiet time from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m., a ban on drugs and alcohol, and a limit of two people per site.<br \/>\nSandy Isham of Catholic Community Services said the homeless typically are safer in large groups.<br \/>\n&#8220;Homeless people, when they&#8217;re alone, they&#8217;re much more susceptible to violence,&#8221; Isham told the Gazette-Journal.<br \/>\nDovan and Jennie Oswalt said they have befriended other campers<br \/>\nin an effort to help secure protection.<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s a bunch of homeless people looking out for each other with work being as scarce as it is,&#8221; Dovan Oswalt said.<br \/>\n&#8220;I feel safer over here,&#8221; Jennie Oswalt said.<br \/>\nThe Reno Area Alliance for the Homeless estimates 3,000 people are living in a temporary situation around Reno, including in a motel, a shelter or on the street.<br \/>\nLocal officials plan to build two new permanent shelters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"video-container\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" allowFullScreen allowTransparency=\"true\" class=\"vzaar-video-player\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"336\" id=\"vzvd-1194125\" mozallowfullscreen name=\"vzvd-1194125\" src=\"http:\/\/view.vzaar.com\/1194125\/player\" title=\"vzaar video player\" type=\"text\/html\" webkitAllowFullScreen width=\"448\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>RENO, Nev.
