I think layman translation of this marketing bullshit is "barrack"

Or better yet: tenement.

I don't know, don't tenements generally have "familial unit" rooms? The rooms are shared, but usually not with strangers or on a large scale. Barracks or "worker dormitories" fit better.

I like your "worker dormitories". Alternatives include rooming house, single room occupancy (SRO), flophouse, communal apartment, and cohousing, depending on the details.
