This is a very real thing - and no size of community is immune to its effects.
Again, being non-political, or passing blame on either party, just look at the facts:
The government instituted an eviction/foreclosure 'freeze', nothing more. There was no federal provision for rent and mortgage forgiveness. And that freeze, unless something else is passed, will expire here at the end of the month. That being said, the banks had the option to give deferments on loans they gave out to homeowners, and many have taken that route. But this is why this is more of a rent crisis than a housing crisis like the last recession. The rent freeze didn't do anything to forgive the past due amounts. So all of a sudden, a person who hasn't been working, or whose industry is facing labor crunches to poor sales, isn't going to just magically have three months back rent to give their landlords on August 1st.
This is a very scary crisis. The worst case scenarios project 10% of the nation's population being officially homeless if this trend continues. But it's not like it's going to be 1 in every 10 people you see every day will be sleeping on sidewalks. Some, especially those with kids, will find family and friends to take them in, at a great burden no doubt. Others will 'couch surf'. But those that were already on the bubble of financial stability before the pandemic will see themselves added to the number literally living on the street.
This will affect those currently homeless as their available resources, including cash donations, will be going in more directions. This will affect crime rates, and not just because poor people = bad people. But somebody who is starving will resort to desperate measures in some cases. The larger issue is an influx of women and children being unaccounted for - and sex trafficking is a very real problem in today's world. Don't doubt that for one minute. With schools going online (which I don't have a problem with based on the transmission of the virus), we also have to take into account that teachers won't be seeing kids everyday to see if they're well, not abused...and just present in general.
It sounds insignificant, but I joined this site, and bought chickens, when I couldn't find eggs in the store at the start of this whole mess. I'm lucky enough to have a full time job in the food manufacturing industry, and a part time job in the evenings. Many around me haven't been so lucky, and like many here have said, it's not even their fault.
The most apolitical thing I could say right now, is this: be kind to each other. We're about to see a lot of homeless people in very bad spots. They didn't deserve what happened to them. We can't solve their problems by giving them $1 every time we see them, but we can be kind in all situations.
... I'm not sure if I say 'BOTH political parties are epic failures and have been the majority of my life as they are NOT public servants, but personal profiteers.' -- as it neither favors one over another nor says either is solely 'responsible'... 
They can keep themselves wherever they are, stop raising my property values so I can pay more because they are alright paying triple what the property was worth to line the pockets of the middle men in between-- and they wouldn't give a HOOT about those around them in either place who didn't have the ability or desire to do that! They are probably buying the house or property of someone who is/has suffered major loss-- but do they care? 
No, not a bit.
