It can give people access to somewhere they could live without costing so much or being something they cannot afford. Huge companies can help with this as they already make millions per day.

Employees who can see their company cares for the community and it’s problems won’t want to leave it and will do better at their jobs and be proud of the company they represent, which will end in great rapport and possibly profits.
For example -though not directly related- in Japan, companies keep older employees not as official workers but as “window seaters” and they essentially have no formal responsibilities other than being present at the office, this means that younger employees see how the company essentially rewards longterm employees for their work even past retirement age and inspires them to do better. It also means companies have a great wealth of knowledgeable mentors for the next generation and better economic stability and independence for elderly people (which includes their housing). I would then imagine that communities that are helped with their housing issues will possibly protect and help those same companies on other areas, such as publicity and customer loyalty, and higher retention and productivity rates of employees.
Governments should incentivize companies to help solve housing problems, but it would be even better if this move came and started from inside companies themselves as the benefits for them would be even greater. Read Less
