They are among Manteca’s 70,000 residents.And their homes are the streets. Sometimes they bed down for the night in makeshift camps partially hidden by landscaping along the Tidewater Bikeway. Once in awhile they have elaborate cardboard box shelters pitched on vacant lots within industrial parks camouflaged in part by tumbleweeds.They have been known to take up residence in abandoned buildings and homes.
