Sounds like a good idea, now they don't have to pay fundraisers/let homeless people sell magazines etc, I wonder how many "desk-jobs" those meters will enable... "Help the homeless (plus a 100 people working full-time"administrating" this "help" in nice air-conditioned offices)...?
Maybe I am wrong about this specific project, if so sorry. Homelessness really upsets me, and what upsets me more is people getting rich from these aid-projects...
But thanks for the article @alphacash
