As someone who's from a former Communist country, the downfall of communism was met with a dramatic rise in homelessness.
But you probably shouldn't trust a random person on lemmy saying "as someone from Communist country", this info easily verifiable with a web search.
Here's the first link I get searching "homelessness after communism":

Because the commies put all homeless people into jails you dunce!
Sarcasm or unironic? Hard to tell these days lol
That was unironically the case in Czechoslovakia. Can't speak for the rest of the eastern bloc.
Not jail, but worse
I agree, the fall of the Soviet Union caused a sharp rising in homelessness. I disagree that Khrushchevkas are the solution for homelessness.
