During their Tuesday meeting, Humboldt County supervisors debated sending a draft letter, addressed to Breed, questioning whether San Francisco was making sure the homeless people it's busing out actually land housing and jobs.
"We are concerned that providing bus tickets to other jurisdictions without verifying access to housing, family support or employment does not alleviate homelessness; it simply shifts the person to another county," the letter states.
"We don't need to be a dumping ground," Humboldt County Supervisor Rex Bohn said at the meeting. "Our cost for taking care of a homeless person that has nothing up here ... it's expensive."
Breed's office says the notion that San Francisco is dumping its homeless problems up north is overblown - and noted that Humboldt County has sent people south, too.
