Definition of Housed from the Urban dictionary- Completely destroyed. Beaten down like the "the man" beats people down. Beaten with assistance of overwhelming odds. As in, I just beat you so bad, I took everything including down to your house.
It is often used in American sports. "The Sun Devils got “housed” by the Georgia Bulldogs!"
"The Rams got housed by Seattle, 37-13" "The Raiders got housed by their hated rival Broncos"
These are all examples I found in articles about sports.
There is actually a second meaning which I have heard as well. To have eaten or drunk something really fast. She bought ice cream and housed it in like 3 seconds. Man, you really housed that pizza.
The s in housed is pronounced softly as if it is the past tense of house.

I have never heard anyone say that. Maybe you are thinking of "hosed", which is slang for "put in a bad situation"
Man, she hosed you = Man, she put you in a bad situation
