If you're genuinely homeless you get top priority for a council property.

Er I think you mean your £0.00 savings lad, you must have mistyped there. I made the mistake of telling them about my savings when I became homeless but it didn't mean I wasn't homeless and didn't mean I wasn't eligible for a place to live.
In practice it meant that when they sent me to the hostel full of alcoholics and junkies I had to pay £1200 (twelve-hundred pounds) per month to live there until they found temporary accommodation, a flat, for me. Since then I've only been paying ~£300/month rent though.
