This world is immensely entitled.
Humans are owed /nothing/ not a single solitary thing. We /strive/ for things, such as equality, and freedom of speech.
Placing blame on X for Y's suffering is a straw-man argument, with straw-man solutions that fail spectacularly when trials are performed.
Basic income? Yup 3 countries tried it, and ditched it immediately.
Basic housing? Yup countries, counties, and states have tried this, and it failed miserably.

Morality, which is what the 'everyone deserves a house' mentality is, cannot be legislated; ever.
Change comes by doing, not by forcing others to do for you. This world needs a giant enema.
