Maybe an engineering approach could provide a quick fix for the worst symptoms of poverty, this would involve some kind of infrastructural safety net at the bottom of the socioeconomic ladder. Something along the lines of your automated housing idea seems appropriate. Though I think this should be done in a way which would randomize social class segregation as much as possible from the get go. But yes, new housing infrastructure which is safe, automated and simple, that seems like the right idea. Maybe something along the lines of Japanese hotels, (a medium sized, one room, well equipped type deal). I think these should come with a simple job in the same building or close by, with which you would be able to earn your keep if you don't have the money, so that the housing units could be self sustaining and even profitable for the people staying there, giving the residents the hope, opportunity, and motivation to get themselves back on their feet.
Basically, a guaranteed safe place to spend the night, store your belongings, develop some skills, and save up some money. Maybe free nutritious food could be included along with this, (possibly surplus from whatever the job is?) because if people can't access basic nutrition, and they're stuck in a stressful or sedentary environment, a large percentage of the population's physical/mental health may deteriorate even though it's avoidable. Elon has reached maximum capacity I'm pretty sure, maybe someone with a will and a way will see this, fly with it, build on it, or be inspired to create their own version.
