One thing that most don't know but is very real in the social service world with the homeless is that due to covid and rent moratoriums acoss the country, where tenants could not be evicted for failure to pay rent, hundreds of landlords/apartment owners were forced to sell their properties. There is no mortgage help since they are investment properties, and if there's no rent coming in to pay the mortgage, you have to sell. But now, the liberals are screaming because thousands of rentals across the country are no longer available for low income renters. There are literally millions of unused dollars to help renters pay rent which could have been directed to landlords to pay mortgages to keep people housed.
