Who We Are
2-1-1 is a universally respected and growing national model. More than 14.3 million 2-1-1 connections to help were made in 2017. Today 94 percent of people living in the US have access to 2-1-1 services. Americans living in any one of our 50 states plus those residing in Washington DC and Puerto Rico now have access to community resources by dialing 2-1-1. Many Canadians do too.
What We Do
NJ 2-1-1 helps people find solutions to personal needs by informing them of resources in their community.
Every day we connect people to day care facilities, shelters, affordable housing units, social services, employment training programs, senior services, medical insurance, and more.
Our staff works closely with government officials, voluntary organizations throughout the state, and 2-1-1 centers in other parts of the country. In times of disaster, NJ 2-1-1 plays a critical role in bringing information to the people most affected by the event and relaying the needs of callers back to government officials and first responders who are in a position to help.
