Nyc Buying One-way Tickets For Homeless To Leave

What do you think of the latest move of NYC officials to give one way tickets to homeless families to leave the city? They can send them anywhere in the US or out of the US.

QUOTE
NEW YORK -  New York City is buying one-way plane tickets for homeless families to leave the city.

It's part of a program by Mayor Michael Bloomberg's administration to keep the homeless out of the expensive shelter system, which costs $36,000 a year per family. More than 550 families have left the city since 2007. All it takes is for a relative to agree to take them in.

The city employs a travel agency for domestic travel and the Department of Homeless Services handles international travel.

City officials say there are no limits on where a family can be sent and families can reject the offer....

Leave Homeless Tickets One-way Buying Nyc

I think it is a nice plan if it helps the people. I would like to see many of the homeless have a place to call their own that has a roof and 4 walls to help protect them from the elements and thieves.
