Philly is Busing Homeless People Out Of Town
The city has spent hundreds of thousands of dollars since 2021 buying one-way bus tickets out of Philly for unhoused people. The voluntary program is described by one city official as Philly’s “most efficient program in ending homelessness.” But what happens after someone gets on that bus? Host Trenae Nuri speaks with Claudia Vargas, NBC10 investigative reporter, and Ali Ingersoll, NBC10 investigative content producer.
