What do you mean by "single purpose housing"? This is a residential building; it is not multi-use.
Single purpose housing is stronger than than non-multi-use. Basically housing that's targeted (and suitable exclusively for) one group of people, say students, or low income individuals.
Sometimes it's necessary (dorms on a campus are obviously only suitable for students, a seniors centre has facilities and support making it targeted for seniors) but most housing in an area should be flexible enough to support anyone who wants to live there, a building like this shouldn't be targeted at students exclusively, for one, any demographic shift may leave a housing problem, for another, concentrating all one group of people in one place leads to other social problems.
