Subsidized housing doesn't make 12.75 an hour a livable wage. Subsidized housing exists because people can't survive on a wage like that in a high col area. There is a short supply of this housing on the market and comes nowhere close to the need.
Then you agree that the problem is systemic? Because it would be ludicrous to suggest that subsidized housing exists only for the WalMarts and FedExes of the country.
Problem is that livable wage is a highly debatable term. Some people think their income should at least get them an apartment(with or without roommates), others think they should be able to buy their own house.
While I've never been to Manhattan, from what I hear, 12.75 won't get you a cheeseburger! Living wage if you want to live in a box beneath an overpass, otherwise, not likely anywhere.

Again, living wage. Can you survive off it? Yes. Will it be cozy comfortable? Probably not. Get a second or a better job. What is the hourly rate for a driver in NYC, anyway?
