The Florida 2-1-1 Network
The Florida 2-1-1 Network is a cooperative effort of
the Florida Alliance of Information and Referral Services and the United
Way of Florida to fulfill the mandate of SB 1276, adopted by the Florida
State Legislature in 2002, to make 2-1-1 available to every person in
Florida. The Network is a collaboration of the eleven active 2-1-1
regional and local call centers that currently serve 33 of our 67
counties, providing 2-1-1 access to 75% of our population, and handling
over 500,000 calls per year. Eight additional call centers are under
development.
2-1-1 State Certification
Florida 211 agencies can become state certified. Visit our website for more
information on the certification process.
2-1-1 Initiative
On July 21, 2000 the FCC designated
the 3-digit telephone number 2-1-1 for easy access to community human
service information. FLAIRS is working on a business plan to bring 211 to
Florida and integrate it with our FLAIRS Network. Visit the national
211 web site.
