I really don’t quite understand the problem with the concept of the workhouse.
If you cannot actually contribute positively to the economy, then in a workhousre you get a bed and the chance to contribute as much as you can. What is wrong with that?
I would dismantle the well-fare state tomorrow if I were in charge, and put back the workhouses.
I live in a flat in a former workhouse [built in 1836], and by goodness it is better built than the standard working class terraced housing of the time.
