(tiny critique: "Advanced features" was a bit too long to glance over for me. Might I suggest limiting it to 7+-2 bullets?)

My unsupported speculation is that the public see the homeless as people that tumbled downwards because of mental issues and addictions. What's not often considered is the community that they live in - they still have social interactions; they still feel pride and depression and snark and remorse. Mommying them by giving them a bed and curfew isn't just demeaning to a homeless man, it's demeaning to anyone. I'm not sure if this is the right solution but I'm glad to see they're trying new things.

It would definitely be a useful factor in deciding new purchases.

I think I would use it as a quick check and hope that no login is necessary.

Nice.

Suggestion: lose the windows, lose the pop-up for each task; I found it takes too many clicks.
