Bill > SR15

This Senate Resolution (SR 15) recognizes the importance of the 2-1-1 information and referral service, a nationwide three-digit telephone number that connects Californians to community, health, and disaster-related services. The resolution proclaims February 2025 as 2-1-1 Month and February 11, 2025, as 2-1-1 Day, highlighting the service's critical role in providing free, confidential assistance to residents. Operated by 26 local nonprofit organizations, 2-1-1 offers 24/7 support in over 150 languages through telephone, SMS, and internet platforms, serving people of all income levels and backgrounds. The resolution emphasizes the service's significant contributions, including handling over 2 million calls and 2.15 million referrals in 2022, providing emergency support during natural disasters like wildfires, and assisting during challenging times such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The Senate commits to supporting the 2-1-1 infrastructure to ensure equitable access to resources related to poverty, housing, family support, health, and disaster assistance, and encourages Californians to learn about and utilize this valuable service through 211.org.
