I've never heard of a program where the rental assistance funds go directly to the tenant rather than the landlord.

Was your tenant on section 8 or some other voucher program already?

It's probably too late but you should look into rent default insurance which covers you in cases like yours where your tenant stops paying rent.

The city program pays directly to the landlord but they are very behind on payments. An older woman on my block rented the downstairs apartment to a family who were approved for rental assistance over a year ago and a half ago. She still hasn’t received any payment from the city.
