NY Buys One-Way Tickets For Homeless

NEW YORK (July 29) - New York City is buying one-way plane tickets for homeless families to leave the city.

It's part of a Bloomberg administration program 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.

Could we do that here? Clean up RT13 between RT50 and the car dealerships.

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

Yep and Salisbury is welcoming them with open arms.

And the Fat POS had the audacity to post this on his Twitter Feed.

"We must help the homeless in this city. Tonight I witnessed a man get trash out of a can and eat it. It was very sad and wanted to help" 1 day ago

How can you help someone that doesn't want to help themselves.

I think that is a stupid idea, why not help these families find jobs and a home instead of just sending them away, many families cant help that they are homeless!! money should be spent to help people

Why can't we give the illegals a one way ticket OUT of the country.
