    DCC claim to have 3,200 units for older people, that is clearly woeful considering the population of the council area. That's where social housing should be built as a priority to free up bigger homes.

    Been watching a youtube series on council housing in the UK where the homeless crisis is far far greater than here. They have arrangements/make arrangements with private landlords who agree to accept housing benefit .

    A far more integrated system than here
    We've had those integrated arrangements here for more than a decade.

    Entitlement from who? The person in the social housing?
    The state put them there, if the house is not suitable for their needs, in this example being discussed it is too big, then its the states fault. Do you think the person demanded a house that is too big for them? If so, have you evidence to back this up?
    When the children move out, and there are only the adults left, then yes, it is too big for them.
