A few quotes from the Rabbi on 'Tzedakah and Healing'
in which he teaches that dwellings should be prepared in large numbers to house the wretchedly poor.
We went to the Holy City, to the Tiferet Yerushalaim Beit Midrash, where there are 14 study houses, and tutors in each one; some teach children, and there are adults studying Talmud as well as a magnificent synagogue. Next to this place is a study house named Doresh Zion - there are study houses there as well - and a large courtyard with many houses built within it and wretchedly poor people living there. They said that entry is based on drawing lots, since the poor are numerous, and for this reason they draw lots. Whoever wins the lot enters there to live with his household for up to three years. Once the three years are over, they are moved and other poor people enter, also on the basis of lots, for up to three years.
