> social housing should not be something you stay in forever, rather only until you have the means to find a place to stay on your own

What if you have a mental or physical disability that precludes you from paid work? (Note that doesn't include charitable work)

That should be a different category of housing (and I believe it is in the UK, “sheltered housing” vs “council housing”)

It is, but, like council housing, there will be a wait for sheltered housing. In the meantime, it's likely you're already in, or get put in a regular council house.

Additionally, not all conditions require sheltered housing levels of care - they just mean you won't hold down a job.
