There are plenty of good examples of company provided housing in The Netherlands, early 20th century.

The Netherlands can't be the only country where it did work out.

I was born and raised in a beautiful company built neighbourhood. Small but decent houses, a school, some shops and enough room for some 'green'.

Bournville in UK is another example. It was definitely a step up at the time, but I feel like conditions are somewhat better an century and a half later and if they would be going back to where losing your house with your job is an acceptable risk, it would now be a step down.
