This is actually an older news story, and it does appear as though she recovered from this before her death.

              Yes
Ideally from birth
If they're wealthy enough, yes. Or ideally, people who can't afford a home should be given one by the government. No landlords needed. Having a roof over your head should be a basic human right.
Nothing. Again, basic human right. Everyone is entitled to a home.

Ok so govt is the landlord then, got it. Who gets to decide who gets free housing? Housing inventory is limited so somebody is going to be homeless. Seems like the govt agency, or worse, agent, has the keys to the kingdom and wields a lot of power in your scenario.
