211

211 is a free, 24 hour a day phone, text, and chat line that connects you to housing, food, utility, and other help in your specific area, reaching about 99 percent of the country in 180 languages. You will be routed to your local 211 provider, so the exact services and wait time can vary by where you are calling from, since this is a national network of local call centers rather than one office. There is no account and no cost, just your zip code and what you need. Text your zip code to 898211 in many areas if a phone call is not possible right now.
