Pass the Calling for 2-1-1 Act

WHY IS THE CALLING FOR 2-1-1 ACT NEEDED?

Although the 2-1-1 system has developed over the past decade through United Way and state government funding, the 2-1-1 system lacks stable long-term financing. Because of the expanding reach and increasing visibility of 2-1-1, many 2-1-1 call centers lack the resources needed to build an adequate telecommunications infrastructure, provide appropriate staff levels and training, establish or maintain 24-hour-a-day service, ensure complete and accurate informational databases, and reach rural populations. The Calling for 2-1-1 Act would provide the funding needed to meet these needs.
