First Call, which helps with social service issues, may get accreditation for three-digit phone number
This is a terrible idea. “911” makes sense because it’s the number you need to use when time is of the utmost importance. The unique number is great for teaching to kids - it’s very nature indicates it’s importance.
Using 3 digit phone numbers for anything other than dire emergencies dillutes the usefulness and importance of 911.
If you’re short on rent, the 30 seconds you save finding and dialing First Call isn’t going to make a difference in your situation.
