Getting house from govt housing dept?

Can someone help me understand what else needs to be done to get a villa allotted by Government Housing department in the area of my choice.
I did all the things that are required. I tried the same thing last year, gave up and rented an apartment on my own.
I applied again about 2 weeks ago, visited housing department last week and gave them my preferred area information. I went there today to enquire about the status, they said I will get an SMS after committee's meeting next Monday. Same was repeatedly told to me last year as well, I never received SMS.

I asked them I don't have an area preference, just let me know in which area Villa's are available, I will choose one, they said they cannot tell this, "Committee will meet & decide and then we will send an SMS".

I don't know what else I should do? I keep hearing that people get villa's allotted, I don't know whether they have preference for certain nationalities.
