Yeah but it would be the cheapest phone that calls and texts at best right? Its pants on head retarded to hand out iPhones to people who would just sell them for their next fix.I know at face value it seems absurd, but when services help you get situated, get a job etc they usually provide you a phone, also homeless people can receive government assistance and if you're trying to survive it makes no sense to not have a phone. Without one you're basically completely disconnected from everything.
Not saying it might not just be a damsel-in-distress scam for thirsty dipshits tho.
