It wouldn't do either of these things as broadly as you imply. Delinquent
homeowners would be protected, but renters, who occupy something like half
of foreclosed properties, would not. This exclusion is particularly odious
as renters are typically much lower-income than owners and will, we may
safely assume, face fewer options upon eviction.
