It may help curtail spread of communicable diseases like the flu, TB, etc that are common in the homeless population.

That was sadly the first thing that came to my mind. The article says they working under the direction of physicians and NPs so they are doing this under some insurance.

Looks good to me. Can't hurt as long as they don't do anything stupid.
