Half of all renters in the US make major, long-lasting sacrifices to afford housing. A basic failing of US capitalism. Many millions suffer so a small minority - landlords - profit. The system is the problem.

Because having a house makes productive workers? I fail to see your logic here. A city I lived in did this. It didn't produce workers, it produced income for contractors as the buildings were outright destroyed by the 'tenants'. Needless to say the city didn't stay in that business long, less than a year actually.
If your goal is 'workers' while simultaneously bitching about capitalism...who do you plan on them to work for?
The data is clear: the best way to reduce homelessness is to simply give people a safe, private address.
