Re: project for your employer: Is 211 not a viable option in California or in the counties your org serves?

Don't get me wrong, I've tried working on 211 in Washington, DC and experienced the same thing, ultimately: Individual nonprofits creating their own resource and referral systems since 211 was not cutting it and would likely never cut it.

Last time I heard about 211 in our counties - about 20 years ago - they (the agency that got a tri-county grant) had a resource directory website and were looking into doing phone support but funding left for some reason and the site is long gone. (Found Calaveras 211 - has only PG&E public safety/Hate crime support line/tobacco cessation info.)

Will see if it has regained any support up here - don't see much advertising for it in this rural area, and looking at the California 211 most of the resources point to the central valley... Thanks for the heads up!
