It's really not, I'm not sure why you'd think that. Even then, I imagine there's a lot of countries in the world where running out of money would mean landing

  i can only speak about the countries that i know, but no, generally people are not forced out of their homes into the most basic accommodation available. at worst, they may be asked to move into a smaller apartment in the same area, or rent out some of the rooms to supplement the cost of the rent. they are also not uprooted, because family support and social ties are considered important (and better off relatives can be asked to help). especially when there are children, the social environment must be preserved. uprooting people would be considered inhumane. also most european cities generally do not have unsafe neighborhoods. that's really an american thing. (and in third world countries who don't have such a safety net anyways) this needs verification, but i speculate that those countries that actually have a safety net are doing this right, and other countries don't do much at all.
