Project reconnect is a funded county program to help people who are here in the county and homeless. This program will help such individuals reconnect with family and support services in their home town or home of origin, by providing one way tickets back home.
There are requirments that must be met, but once support services or family at the destination are contacted and such loved-ones confirm they will assist their family member--we furnish one way tickets back!
Between this new program, our enhanced intersections/distractions ordinance, and the state's new tough law on homeless camps on county property---we are tackling the homelessness issue in the county head-on. And it is past time for us to do it.

Not sure this qualifies as tackling the homeless project head on. When is the county going to release its $4M homeless money? We have to do more than one way bus tickets out of town.
10:23--We voted to spend the lion's share of the $4 Million on a stand alone facility for housing the homeless and also providing support services in the same facility. We're moving that forward, along with our ordinance against standing in the roadway, as well as project reconnect. Now that the state has passed the law against free-form camping on county property, we will also look at requirements for a legal camping facility (which I supported and do support--like Satoshi Forest.) And then to top it off, we support an array of nonprofit organizations that help with the homeless as well.
So in other words, it'll be completed in 8 years just like fire stations and the money will disappear and fill your pocket
