How else will they be able to keep in contact with potential employers that would help them get off the streets?

A regular cellphone? Now that pay phones are gone, it's the only option for them to connect with the rest of the world, including job applications. A smartphone with a data plan? If that's the case, I think you're confusing actual homeless people with the guys who run street scams for money.

A shitty walmart phone can be bought with a couple lucky days' panhandling, as can next months service.
If anything, cellphones nudge the homeless into actually going to a shelter, if only just to recharge.

A lot of homeless people are given phones so they can keep in touch with their welfare providers. My girlfriend is a basic skills provider for welfare recipients and they provide their clients phones so they're able to locate them for their drives.

Yeah these locally owned agencies don't have the resources to track people with GPS, and I'm pretty sure there are some laws against that as well. $10 Phones end up being cheaper anyways.

I wouldn't be so sure. Mrs. DevsBro and I got our first smartphones because they were actually cheaper in terms of service than the old types. They have an actual "dumbphone" fee that was $20/mo.

I mean it's not how I would spend my money if I didn't have shelter but on the other hand if your only possession is a cell phone, literally all the money you have left over after food can go toward its service so it's really not hard to believe at all.

Except it's not an Obama policy. It was during the Clinton era that it was first created but only for home phones, and it spread to mobiles during the Bush Era.
