The Calling for 2-1-1 Act (H.R. 211) would authorize a $700 million matching-grant program over six years to ensure that every American has access to 2-1-1, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. From database and call center development, to call-specialist training and crisis preparedness planning, this money would ensure that every American could cut through the red tape of the health and human services delivery system.
