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's2.gif 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.

Families have been sent to 24 states and five continents, mostly to Puerto Rico2.gif, Florida, Georgia and the Carolinas.

City officials say none of the relocated families have returned to city shelters.

Welcome to Georgia. Get a job, if you can find one.

No limit?

I want to go to the moon!

My Advice is usually based on "Worst Case Scenario" and what is written in the rules/laws/instructions. That is the way I roll... -Protect your Status - file before your I-94 expires.

Sweet!

Don't just open your mouth and prove yourself a fool....put it in writing.

It gets harder the more you know. Because the more you find out, the uglier everything seems.
