Here is an example of nevada giving homeless people with mental problems bus tickets to california instead of treating them. https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/10/nevada-settles-busing-homeless-lawsuit-san-francisco/ https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/10/nevada-settles-... This is article about bloomberg himself defending his program to send homeless to california: https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/29/mayor-defends-one-way-tickets-for-homeless/?mtrref=www.google.com&gwh=A3D05907E1A9A40F2CEECA3736EE0948&gwt=pay&assetType=REGIWALL https://cityroom.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/29/mayor-defends-... The quote you have from the guardian is about cities that attract homeless trying to reverse the process by sending the homeless (willingly) back where they come from. These programs attempt to be more responsible because they will only give a free ticket if they can make sure that the homeless person will not be homeless at the end of their destination. This does not always work out as intended as the guardian article explains but at least conceptually it is the right idea.
