A King County supervisor in Seattle, Washington, is arguing for a novel way to ease the homeless crisis — sending them out of town with a one-way bus ticket.
Councilmember Reagan Dunn said that the program, which is called "Homeward Bound," would reunite people struggling with homelessness with family members who could take care of them.
Dunn is asking for $250,000 for the program after initially asking for a million dollars to fund the voluntary busing.
The program would provide a bus ticket and meal vouchers to any homeless person who could prove they were going to live with a family member. They would not be allowed to move to a county adjacent to King County.
