Do they also have access to public internet and public charging stations? What happens if the phone is lost or damaged??
I'm not 100% but they will replace the phone if damaged. I'm not sure about if it is lost. There is probably a cut off where giving out phones is considered worse than having social workers enter data for certain people. There is housing assistance which would include electricity. I suppose you could charge at city service points? The cell phone plan includes Internet access.
