It just so happened that I had to replace my driver's license (I'm in Florida) today, which now uses REAL ID. The fee is $25 for a new license, which I was somewhat surprised at, and believe to be rather reasonable (though it is probably unreasonable for many below the poverty line still).
Furthermore, it appears that if someone is on SSI benefits, they get a significant discount. It depends on the state level through what kind of discounts are available of course.
I also know in Florida there are several homeless assistance non-profits who will pay and assist with getting photo IDs for the homeless, and with the fee being only $25, it seems relatively "cheap" as a method of helping someone who is homeless; it'd be hard to find a better return on investment with $25 to help assist the homeless to take the steps needed to get themselves off the street.
I recall when I first got my license paying more than $40, so I was very happy to see the lower price.
