Send away those useless homeless

Do you people not know how to read?

The scheme is aimed at saving the costs of putting up homeless families in expensive shelters. It only happens if a family can show they have relatives to stay with elsewhere who are willing to look after them. Then New York will stump up the cash and make the arrangements for them to get out of town, often within a few days of agreeing to leave.

Personally I think helping these people who are down on their luck or who have no opportunities in New York get to a better situation with their family taking care of them is a good thing. It's also a good thing for the State and the City as it gets people off their welfare and frees up space in social programs for others who need it for a one time price. Seems to me like a win/win. Of course with a sensationalistic title and not much reading comprehension, I could see why you people think there's a problem.
