In the old days, i did some work on this back in the day, the buses used to arrive with the local allocation for the asylum seekers to be placed into housing that was available. They were then given some cash, food and necessities (nappies baby food where applicable etc). They were put into a furnished property and then their case worker would visit them when they worked down their list. Inevitably there were a lot of times that the case worker would turn up and they, and the furniture, were gone. Putting them into one location makes sense in many ways.
And the 2nd point about the waiting list is that there is available accommodation however not necessarily the right type, you can't place a family with two or three kids into a one bed flat permanently hence the temporary accommodation. There is a waiting list and there is available housing https://www.birminghamchoice.co.uk/Prope...h/Results/# - the two don't exclude each other.
Have a go at getting somewhere in Sandwell like a pal of mine had to a few months before Xmas. On the council list he needed over 300 other applicants to turn anything he applied for down before his bid with considered. He failed for months to get anywhere and ended up sleeping in his car. He was told to go to a blokes shelter in West brom for somewhere to sleep and given a list of places he could go for free during the day to keep warm. He's couch surfing now. That's reality not a Google search result.
