What is 2-1-1?

2-1-1 is a phone number that connects people with important community services. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) assigned 2-1-1 nationwide as the phone number to dial for help with health and human services. There are nearly 200 active 2-1-1 systems covering all or part of 40 states, plus Washington, DC and Puerto Rico.

When you call 2-1-1, you are connected to an information and referral provider in your area, if service is available. Our 2-1-1 program serves Cuyahoga, Geauga and Medina Counties and is a partnership of United Way of Greater Cleveland, United Way Services of Geauga County and United Way of Medina County. 2-1-1 is available 24 hours a day, every day in these counties.
