This is a great idea, I wonder if a bio metric system rather than key card might be a better way of controlling the distribution of goods. It is my understanding that homeless people have a problem with losing their property through theft or cities just trashing their belongings when they are not looking. It would be a shame if a person could not access this service just because some jerk stole their card.
