I think if you moved people out to an open facility like that, showed them the lifestyle available and then let them choose whether they would stay, you might see some success? Opportunities for them to find purpose in life, but no huge obligation to work bulk hours; shelter in an affordable region and style; support at-hand, but still the option of ignoring it and staying in control.
