Department of children and families will be giving almost 100,000 to help lee county homeless. It will be used for move in fee’s, medications, emergency shelters, and counseling services. Last year they were able to donate 250,000 to the homeless but just didn’t make it this one.(http://www.news-press.com/article/20090826/NEWS01/90826033/1075)
While we are struggling with taking care of the homeless in Lee County with at least 150,000 dollars less the last year the mayor of New York is sending homeless people on a one way flight to 24 states and 5 continents with Florida being one of the main places. New York is doing this in an effort to keep them out of shelter systems.(http://sfloridanews.blogspot.com/2009/07/homeless-new-york-families-being.html)
They are being sent to an already hurting place and I think that the airfare could go to a much better place.
