Whenever any person entitled to temporary relief as an indigent person shall be in any county in this state in which he or she is not a legal resident, the overseers of the indigent thereof may, if the same is deemed advisable, grant such relief by placing him or her temporarily in the indigent care facility of such county, if there be one; but if there be no indigent care facility then they shall provide the same relief as is customary in cases where a legal residence has been obtained.
