Give support meant for the poor to the poor

I just had a thought today when I learned that RGI housing often has a waiting list of 8 years or longer what the leader of the NDP party, Jack Layton (and he's not the only higher income person that was taking advange of the the RGI housing system) was doing with his high income living in RGI housing? Was he "slumming it" to prove that he is willing to live among the commoners? Did he ever think that he may have taken the type of housing that would have made the difference between a family eating and not eating? If someone's housing takes up 90% of their income they may often be faced with eating or paying the rent but if it was 30% of their income then they could eat. Wasn't it nice of this guy to put some poor family in this position! Eat or pay the rent. Thanks fearless leader! He may say he's for the people but he wasn't for the one family that may have been faced with that choice. There is a cap on how much people pay in rent for this housing with no time limit on how long they live there under that rent.
Further thought.
The Social welfare system. A person is on welfare and makes a miniscule amount of money and if they get a part time job but are still underemployed they can stay on welfare for 6 months with 50% of the income from their underemployed income being taken away from them. After 6 months they are cut off.
My question is why is that someone can take advantage of the low cost housing indefinitely instead of say after 6 months of paying the maximum rent allowed for the rental unit they are in they should either move out and let someone that needs the unit because they are living in poverty move in or start paying 30% of their income even if they are making a million dollars a year... This money could build more units or improve existing units or it would force these people that don't need the RGI housing to move out. The system as it currently is only favours the rich. There should be changes made so that everyone can have better living conditions or at least so that rich people can't abuse the system. For poor people - the system is always policing every penny they make so that they can't take advantage of the system. It's just a thought about fairness and justice for all.

Don't get me wrong. Of all the leaders in the government I think Jack Layton is one of the best candidates for people living in poverty or on the fringe of poverty. I just feel that more can be done to give poor people a chance to break out of the chains of poverty and one of the ways is to make it easier for them to get access to things like RGI housing, affordable education and so many other things that are so hard to access now because they are in such limited supply and maybe there are ways to make it even a little easier to get access to these important elements to get out of the ghettos of poverty.
