That would work very well if your goal was to reduce density and increase the price of single family housing. Senior and low income housing is very different than drug addiction rehab housing.
I owned a condo in a small building where a non-profit bought a unit for rehabbing folks. A significant percentage ended up backsliding, and we ended up having drug dealers visit the premises to service the demand. We ended up having huge issues, and basically the whole building went down hill pretty fast. The tenants in the adjacent units got tired of it, and so those owners could only get terrible tenants to stay. The whole building spiraled- owner occupiers sold and moved away and the good tenants left. Basically now the whole place is an unsafe environment that would be unlikely to be successful for someone trying to rehab.
