Accessible to 99% of the U.S. population, 211 is the federally designated 3-digit dialing code that connects to a free, confidential service for information and referrals to a wide range of social services resources. Trained 211 Community Resource Specialists listen, identify problems and underlying root causes, and connect people to local supports to improve their lives. 211 Specialists make referrals to programs and services from locally-curated resource databases, regularly updated by professional 211 staff with close ties to local health and human services agencies and nonprofit organizations.
