Connecting People Through 2-1-1

Everyone knows that dialing 911 will connect them with police, fire and ambulance emergency services. In Indiana, dialing 2-1-1 will connect them 24/7 to free and confidential information about human services. The Federal Communications Commission reserved the 2-1-1 abbreviated dialing code exclusively for nonprofit information and referral in July of 2000. However, planning and implementation of 2-1-1 had already started in many parts of the U.S. and Canada. It is being carried out by a variety of state, regional and provincial groups and on widely varying scales of coverage. Here in Indiana, My United Way 2-1-1 has been working with the Indiana 211 Partnership, Inc. and a range of stakeholders for over ten years to extend 2-1-1 to the entire state. In 2012 this dream became a reality. Now that all 92 Counties have 2-1-1 services this means: • People with needs will be connected easily to available human services such as clinics, counseling, food pantries, shelters and financial assistance programs. • The 2-1-1 caller will receive a “live” answer 24 hours a day from trained professionals. • A more cost effective (I&R) system will maximize both local and state resources (private, philanthropic and public). • Hoosiers will experience greater quality and uniformity of I&R services. • Funders and planners will receive information about met and unmet needs, duplication of and barriers to services and trends. As people become more familiar with 2-1-1, it will be how most people who need human services will make the connection.
