I mean, we have some in the past, in the Victorian era, the UK invented the idea of Council Houses, houses given to those who earn less than a certain amount of money per year, which you live in until you reach a threshold of earnings that you have to move out
They built over 2 million of them in 1880-1950
Segregation was common policy back then, but nowadays mixed social housing projects aren’t that hard to conceive.
So you’d put a mixed group of poor and uneducated people in the same place?
What a great idea. I can’t possibly imagine how that could produce any unintended outcomes.
Those idiots in the government right?
No, I’d put a group of educated/uneducated, poor/wealthy, native/immigrant, … people in the same place.

Yeah. This style of housing was very unpopular in Australia because it created ghettos of welfare dependent families.
Social security does most of the heavy lifting now.
Yes we have homeless people, but this is a complex problem requiring a lot more social services than simply “a house”.
