This is our tax money paying for these free rides. If the family members wanted to see them or help them they would have already done so. The family members probably don't want them around. You would be surprised how many of the "homeless" people have government checks being sent to a PO Box. If I needed a ride would the county commissioners help me?

Are y'all going to just as excited when other cities decide to start flying/bussing their homeless here instead of actually addressing homelessness?

Giving these people these options are opening doors verses closing them.. Great program!

The city and county just want to get rid of the homeless and send them elsewhere to be someone's problem. All the luxury apartments sprouting up around Pensacola tells you all you need to know about how this county, city, and state prioritizes the homeless problem and exorbitant cost of housing. With that being said, there are some who don't want to have any responsibility and prefer to live that way. I believe they should be forced into rehab and into some type of housing. If this nation can afford to send billions to Israel and Ukraine, it should have the resources to solve this problem. But this nation stopped prioritizing what should be prioritized a long time ago. It's all about business and the bottom line. Don’t be fooled. The city and county just want to get rid of the homeless and send them elsewhere to be someone’s problem.

Thru my years I could never afford any ticket to get back home. This is a very hard area to get into an out of over the years average was 1800.00 ticket only during the pandemic did it ever get below $300.00. one reason I get so mad at employer and recruiters trying to hire outside of their place of business that is over 150 miles away. I have seen Contractors higher from west coast and the at least he same time the west coast contractors are higher from the east coast . I get recruited all the time for Ohio or DC but while I lived in DC area would never higher!! I do not recommend anyone to live or work where they do not have family but employers keep on insisting with their recruiters! I am glad to see that a program has started.
