Getting free information
about support services for older adults, housing,
transportation and other topics is as easy
as dialing 2-1-1. That’s the toll-free telephone
number that connects people with community
organizations and government agencies across
Texas.
Just as 9-1-1 became an easy way to reach
emergency medical, police and fire services,
2-1-1 is revolutionizing the way Texans get
information about important non-emergency
services. (This information and referral
service also can be reached by dialing
817-258-8100.)
Highly-trained information and referral specialists
housed at Tarrant County United Way assist
callers in an eight-county area. This confidential
and nationally-accredited service is available
24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
