Are they given shelter and other necessities?

Edit: Curious why the down votes? There is a big difference between dumping them in the desert with and without necessities of life.

No they are mostly just harassed until they leave the city limits and have to go back to the city for water.

I didn't read the article either, but it sounds like they are outside of law enforcement reach, by choice. Lancaster is in the desert, so there's no change in environment, and they most likely had their own stuff anyway. Vice did a video, which sounds like the inspiration for this clickbait article.

eta- yep that's pretty much it. Sounds like the biggest issue for the county or whatever, is that the homeless still exist, in spite of the efforts made to make live as miserable as possible for them.
