2-1-1 Idaho CareLine
-
- 2-1-1 Idaho CareLine, a free service linking Idahoans with health and
human service providers and community resources, is now accessible
statewide on all Idaho telephone land lines. In addition, many cell
phone companies have implemented the service for their wireless customers.
- Persons seeking help with anything from food, shelter and
medical referrals to early childhood services, parenting resources and
assistance for senior citizens can simply dial 2-1-1 to locate providers
in their local community.
- When callers dial 2-1-1, a team of trained, bilingual customer service
representatives answers. Using a comprehensive database, the
representatives identify the community services best suited to meet the
callers' needs. More than 3,000 agencies and programs are listed in
2-1-1 Idaho CareLine's statewide database. The call is free of
charge and confidential.
- Representatives are available to talk with English- and
Spanish-speaking callers and also can use the AT&T Language Line to access
more than 140 other languages.
- To access the Idaho 2-1-1 services from out of state, through a pay
phone, or using a cell phone provider that has not yet implemented 2-1-1,
dial 1-800-926-2588. Or search the 2-1-1 online database
independently at
www.idahocareline.org.
- Idaho was the 22nd state to provide 2-1-1. In Idaho, 2-1-1 rings
to the Idaho CareLine. The Idaho Department of Health and Welfare
established the Idaho CareLine call center in 1991 to answer inquiries
about health and human services. The 2-1-1 public-private
partnership enhances the Idaho CareLine service by providing additional
staff, updated equipment, promotion, and opportunities for volunteering
and giving.
