The quarters are pretty much always on site though, that would mainly work up in the fort... down here, I suppose we could make a work camp next to chestemere lake

and some of them are quite a lot like slums in the rural areas sadly...

I know in some cases the working poor are the ones who are homeless. If there were places to stay on job that provided a place to sleep it could help these people save some money that they could eventually use for lodging.
I would think business could reduce some of that labor shortage if there was a return to the old days where there was company housing and housing that was built by the workers themselves.
