No. It doesn't.
Housing. Is. Based. On. Need.

There are certain criteria a non-uk national must meet before they are allowed on the housing list, but once on there it is down to need. You were not trying to raise a family of three children in one room. You weren't at risk of abuse or illness. If the house was filthy, there was nothing stopping you cleaning the house. You weren't on the streets. You weren't 'disadvantaged'. Not compared to others on the list. It really is *that* simple.
