211 CALIFORNIA
California 211 Providers Network (211 California) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization that serves as a gateway for transforming how all Californians equitably connect to health, human, and disaster services in order to build healthy, resilient communities.
As the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) designated Lead Entity for 2-1-1, 211 California provides statewide coordination and leadership for the 2-1-1 system. We support a network of local community-based organizations by advancing shared standards, fostering innovation, developing statewide and regional solutions, and strengthening coordinated disaster preparedness, response, and recovery.
Together, the 211 California Network delivers 24/7/365 service to more than 98% of California’s population, with statewide disaster-only coverage, ensuring communities can access trusted, real-time information when it matters most.
“Our 211 system is an incredible system in the state of California that connects people to real services, in real time. 211 is connecting the unconnected, providing people with real solutions, and providing essential information and support during disasters.
Everyone needs to know about 211.”
Greg Cox, 211 California Board Member
