It would depend on the homeless person as for who would use this. I feel like this is a place where it would be the last rung before falling into homelessness rather than the first rung to climb out.

I want a society where the homelessness is not a thing, and utilitarian basic shelter like this is the worst you can fail without being dangerous or insane

I suspect there are several rungs between homelessness and renting an $800/m pod from a tech industry focused startup.
