Tax for unfilled housing. The rate you pay for the tax is proportional to the amount you are asking for rent. 100% of the funds collected goes to housing assistance.
Or just have a socialist government protect the prices. That's what my country does. Landlords can't even increase the prices or kick you out. The only price changes is an "index" that changes every year to make your rent follow inflation.
There should be no profit on housing.
That probably makes it hard to do upgrades and repairs on the houses/apartments, but I'll absolutely conceed that is not as bad as the runaway housing costs in the US right now.
