How is your definition of "slavery" different from the experience of literally any other person under a capitalist system? Getting a job for most people in the world is not a matter of want, it is a matter of do or die.

It's different because they are forced to work AND not getting paid.

Under the proposed homeless people have two choices: 1) Live in the provided housing and work 20hrs a week for no pay. 2) Go to jail and possibly be forced to work anyway.
