More and more residents using 211 service, United Way reports
Launched in Huron
County four years ago next
month, 211 continues to be a
valuable resource for those
needing community and
social service information in
our local communities.
211 is the information and
referral service that provides
reliable information on com-
munity and social services.
When you dial the 211 hot-
line, you are connected with
a Certified Information and
Referral Specialist who has
been trained to assess your
needs, answer your ques-
tions accurately, and advise
you about the services and
programs that are best for
you, your family, and
friends.
Locally, 211 is supported
by United Way Perth -Huron
(UWPH) and administered
by PF Solutions/Training-4-
Success, a project of UWPH
located in the Conestoga
College Stratford Campus.
United Way's commitment
to the 211 service is to ensure
that local data meets 211
standards and remains accu-
rate and current, meaning
callers receive the most up-
to-date information possible
and can confidently access
the assistance they need.
"Calls to 211 from Perth
and Huron Counties have
increased by 22% over the
last year. This increase in call
volume demonstrates that
211 is a vital community
service" says Ryan Erb,
UWPH Executive Director,
'we are hoping that the more
the community is aware of it,
the more they will use it':
Top 3 reasons people
called 211 in our region
1. Housing (utilities
assistance)
2. Income & Financial
Assistance
3. Health
Those who have used the
211 service gave it an overall
ranking of 9.6 out of 10 for
service helpfulness. Of those
who were followed up with,
82% of callers received assist-
ance with the need they were
calling about. 100% of peo-
ple surveyed said they would
call again. Users commented
that some of the top features
of calling 211 were that they
were given referrals to local
services and that the infor-
mation was accurate.
