Officials initially named the program Clean Sweep but quickly changed it to the Homeless Outreach Prevent Efforts or HOPE after people started complaining that Clean Sweep seemed like the city was comparing its homeless to trash. The council approved $5,000 for the trial program which they say is enough for 30 bus tickets.In San Francisco, you dont even need to be homeless to qualify. The citys Homeward Bound Program provides bus tickets for low-income residents who cant afford to move themselves.To qualify, a person must be live in San Francisco, have family of friends who will vouch to take them in, and be medically stable and sober. Personal hygiene must be at an acceptable level to travel, although the citys Human Service Agency, which runs the program, provides clothing and shower facilities to people before they board the bus.City commissioners in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., recently green-lighted a $25,000 program to get the homeless out of their area. Funding for The Homeless Reunification Program is taken out of the Florida Law Enforcement Trust Fund, which is made up of money confiscated by criminalsSimilar programs were also started in Floridas Palm Beach County and West Palm Beach.More than 7,000 homeless people were placed in shelters and low-income housing units in Fort Lauderdale from January-August 2011.
