The three-bedroom trailers are being provided by the Federal Emergency Management Agency free of charge for periods not to exceed 18 months. Hundreds of people have lived in a tent city at Callaghan Park since the Oct. 17 magnitude 7.1 quake. About a dozen families have already moved into the trailers, FEMA officials said.
