In most other jobs, if you could not afford to make rent, or had other commitments that drained your income, you could not find the resources at work to even attempt this. If they are lenient on this sort of thing, you could use this for other purposes. You decide to move and your leases don't quite line up, saving money to buy a house (as mentioned in the article)... I would certainly classify this as a perk.

Really? I worked at McDonalds in high school. One of the other guys there (in my estimation, one of the smartest) was homeless. He was about 17 years old, and had run away from home. We were in NJ, I believe he was from the Carolinas. He used to work FT at McDonalds, and then I would spend most of the rest of his waking time at the library or a QuikCheck in town. I wasn't totally clear on where he slept, but I believe he mixed sleeping outside with crashing on another guys couch that worked at McDonalds. I don't know what happened to him, but I hoped things worked out. I moved on to another job and never talked to him again. I would have had absolutely no idea he was homeless before he told me. It was an eye opening experience for me.

  OK, I will be more specific: In most jobs, you cannot choose to be homeless and still live in middle class conditions.
