Thye dont have to house you if you have made yourself intentionally homeless
Plan A as you have described alos involves somehting called reservation of benefit (you have disposed of the house and still live in it)
and the transaction is not at arms length ( to a child and not at market value)
I mean try it and see
if the scam goes wrong, you can only ruin yourself !

My daughter was recently made homeless because the owner of the house they rented wanted to sell it. She has two small children and was told - by the local council - that she would have to prersent herself and the children (with belongings) on the day of her eviction and they would put her in a hostel until suitable accommodation could be found - but not to hold her breath!
