If the administration of the local church is indeed local, then LSM could not expect fellowship to issue in a full-timer becoming homeless.

"Local" administration was the greatest of farces. Even Witness Lee said the administration of local elders includes such things as
deciding what time to pray. Imagine that! Talk about important decisions!
The Work, however, trumps all decisions of the elders. Leading workers
will coerce the other elders to remove that elder from church housing, or their eldership will be revoked, and new elders will be appointed who
will remove that elder from church housing.
