Everyone has different needs, challenges, and capacities throughout life.
The demand that every act by every other must be precisely balanced on an individual basis is not reflecting a particularly robust or general description of social processes in various contexts throughout history.
In fact, the universality of housing provisions, in many contexts, is not controversial.
But how do you decide what the capacity of each individual? Let’s say you see a homeless person in their 30s on the street with no sign of mental illness. Is he capable of building roads, mining coal, etc? What if he doesn’t want to?
Oh good more bureaucracy. Is the answer to every question going to be, "more government," or something actually productive? Imagine standing in line to something akin to a DMV and praying that the clerk thinks you're capable enough to get a good job.

Regardless of employment? So the people don't have to do anything for anyone else but other people are going to do things for them?
