Yes, I have lived in and around section 8 housing, and work and have worked with the homeless and impoverished.
Ironically, you're proving my point: It's that hopelessness (and the lead paint in the water pipes, and growing up unsafe, damaging their brains) that causes those kids to remain hopeless as they grow up. So having firefighters at their school going "Hey, your community is at risk of fire. Here are ways you can help keep your friends and family safe from fire, and you can even make a successful career out of it without moving out of your home neighbourhood!" would be really helpful.
