The "Points" system was abandoned in favour of the "Needs" system.

Thus anyone rolling up with a few kids usually gets the first available property, even if they have just arrived in this country and have never been on a waiting list here.

Add to that that the Bedroom "Tax" filling one-bedroom homes with singles or childless couples to allow 2 or 3 bedroom homes to become available for families of whatever origin, and you have an instant lack of one-bedroom flats or homes for the homing of the indigent.
