    NEW YORK — New York City is buying one-way plane tickets for homeless families to leave the city and head to Georgia or anywhere else they want to go.

    It’s part of a Bloomberg administration program to keep the homeless out of the expensive shelter system, which costs $36,000 a year per family. More than 550 families have left the city since 2007. All it takes is for a relative to agree to take them in.
