The dicey part starts when the door opens ....
Actually, it might work.
Most of what social workers do is sign everyone up for government services.
So I can see them coming into a tense situation and saying “ hey, if you settle down I’ll get you free housing, food stamps, sign you up for WIC, a get you some bus passes.”
Problem solved!
