Check out the transistion and permanent approaches to low-income housing. I enjoyed the testimonials of the people who use the Urban Rest Stop (laundry facilities, showers, washrooms combined with outreach of other services).

I also like the reviatlization of department stores into low-income units with a store front business/services on mail level.
