My point is that people advocate for these projects so the people who can work in the town can live in the town.

So, if someone from out of town who can't work moves in, it undermines the point of the project. In that sense, the disability status is relevant.

I think housing that does require you to work in the community is fair and logical. Otherwise do we just build projects in high end places that essentially just become a lottery for people on government assistance?

To be honest I kind of doubt there's a large enough amount of said folks that this would be worth doing (do you have a source beyond "large numbers"?).

Besides, even disabled need a place to live, and they are probably contributing to the region by purchasing goods.
