Would anyone work with government agencies or orgs that put homeless in empty units? why/whynot considering this since they offer consistent rent

Only "work" with those agencies if they will pay full rent for the tenant for at least 6 months, AND the agency is willing to pay a deposit equal to whatever the maximum deposit is for your state. The tenant should at least have a part time job currently. If they don't have one now, the chances of them getting one in the future when the agency quits paying the rent, is next to zero. That's when you will have to use the deposit money to evict them for nonpayment of rent.
