Where do Hawaii's homeless come from?

It's more difficult to imagine a state paying the high cost of a plane ticket to Hawaii. On the other hand, once they paid once, that person could not return easily because of the cost of the airfare. They can't hitchhike back, so they are gone for good.

Your correct on that info. But what do you expect from a city(Vegas) that makes it illegal to feed homeless people.

Hawaii 'Return To Home' Program Will Pay To Fly Homeless People Back To The Mainland

Interesting, I wonder how it will be regulated and administered. Will the individual need to have some sort of Hawaii ID dated older than six (6) months or something? Will they already need to be in the system, HHS or the police?

Ok even if the oneway ticket program goes into effect it going to just be a drop in the bucket for the homeless issue. Recent stats on Hawai'i homeless is that 3.3 percent of the homeless population are people who have lived in Hawai'i less then a year(dreamers)
