Most of the people who can't afford rent are probably living in apartment complexes, not houses, which probably means they're renting from a real-estate conglomerate of some kind and not a private landlord.

That said I agree there are many edge cases in this crisis and that, ideally, assistance should be given fairly liberally to all individuals who find themselves in tough situations.
