Some potential notes about “busing of homeless people by other state governments”
San Francisco periodically does a “Point in Time” survey of the homeless population. The last one was in 2017, with an N=1089.
69% reported they were living in SF when they became homeless
21% said they were living in California (but not SF)
10% said they were living out of state
However, San Francisco itself has its own bussing program called “Homeward Bound”, which may make the 10% who said they were living out of state hard to interpret.

There was another Point in Time count in 2019, and more recently a preliminary report for the 2022 count was published: https://hsh.sfgov.org/get-involved/2022-pit-count/
