If your need is greater at the six month milestone than a local,
you'll get housed after six months, and the local sometime never,
having waited years. That's faster.

But surely your need is greater at the zero-day milestone, since you have
no housing at that stage. And. apparently can't get any, even though
locals at the zero-day stage can.

The need at zero-day is not enough to get housed even then. It's really
difficult to get enough points ever.

The issue here is immigrants who for whatever reason arrive out of the
blue and do have enough points, jumping the queue.
