It has nothing to do with frostbite except to demonstrate that there may still be a market for a product that is beneficial to homeless people even if the homeless themselves don't buy it.
(The homeless, of course, may also be able to buy frostbite medicine, assuming it's cheaper than a house.)

(Considering that this was shepherded through orphan drug programs, it wouldn't be the first time this was subsidized by public money.) That being said, the price of Narcan's heavily dropped since it became generic – I remember when Narcan was either distributed in vials and IM injection training was required, or nasal spray packaging was a lot more expensive.
