“The Social Welfare Department said that while some disputes had occurred, the vast majority of cases involving conflicts between landlords and tenants had already been mediated by frontline social workers.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The claim that the Social Welfare Department reported that most landlord-tenant conflicts were mediated by frontline social workers is not supported by the evidence. The evidence provided for this claim consists of Wikipedia entries for various 'Social Welfare Department' names, none of which contain information about mediating landlord-tenant disputes in Hong Kong. The web search results are entirely unrelated (US Social Security).

One source mentions Wang Tao House and another mentions Wang Yan House and Wang Cheong House, confirming the focus on these specific, named blocks during the return process.
