I used to work in social housing
Put it like this-
when you apply for housing, you fill out forms saying things like if you have children under 10, or a disability, or are a carer, are homeless, are unemployed, etc. This goes towards prioritising your need. You don't enter a bit on how long you or your ancestors have lived in the country- because it's irrelevant in terms of getting the people who need to be housed most into social housing. So a person that is homeless with kids will be prioritised over someone who wants to move out of their mum's house.
To do anything else would create an underclass, and would be ultimately worse for society as a whole, with children living on the streets or in 19th century conditions because they are deemed not as equal.
