The queue of people collecting the dole? (7,4)

'dole?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both related to property as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'the queue of people collecting' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
'queue' could be 'line' (a line of people) and 'line' is found within the answer.
'of' could be 'o' and 'o' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
