Rooms that are designed for one, two or three people, private bathrooms or one shared by two rooms with separate lockable doors but shared common areas for cooking, laundry etc. It may not be as nice a studio apts that have everything in each unit but it would cut down on costs by reducing the number of stoves, sinks, etc you need to buy for the entire facility.
