How does the US protect people who lost their jobs because of COVID?

Should they be able to stay in rental units or be tossed out to become one of thousands of homeless?
Should the owners of the units be protected and legally be able to toss them out?

If they can't or won't pay their rent, they should be evicted. If government wants to pay their rent, then I'm good with that, but to say you can't evict someone during a pandemic simply because they don't pay rent is saying landlords should shoulder the cost of housing these deadbeats.

@independentone But the ironic part is in some cases the government caused them to lose their job.

@MrBrownstone I still say subsidize the landlords. Not necessarily the huge corporations with hundreds of properties, but the little guys.
