On Poverty

Recently, the rising numbers of veterans who are stuck living out in the street has gained national headlines. These heroes come home to find that they have no home, and thus no way to get a job, which is necessary to get a home.

Thus, I propose the following suggestion.

Worker's Homes.
Companies should provide homes or apartments to be available for their workers to live in. These would not have to be too fancy, but a bare minimum should be enforced. The rent for these homes would be taken out of the employee's paychecks.

This would create a further set of competition in the job market, as companies try to provide the nicest rentable apartments for the lowest prices. These companies would allow their people to live near the company's buildings, with the possibility of Mass Transit between the apartment complexes and the building.

Now, while problems similar to those faced by the Coal Companies are possible, they are unlikely, as the employees would have more options in terms of housing and food living in a big city.
