Council house tenants offered £30,000 bribes to move out - Times Online

I don't get the logic in this.

People being offered money to vacate social housing, because people are being made homeless due to repossession, and the demand on their housing stock is greater.

OK the money may be an incentive to some people, but why should people be asked to leave their homes to house victims of repossession, when they themselves can look in the private sector?
