  5. Factoids 90% of Americans 243 Centers All 50 states, DC and PR • 16 million calls, primarily basic needs • 24 single-center states; 21 with central authority, multi-centers; 7 decentralized or mixed • 49% operated by UW; 48% independent NP; 3% gov’t 211US-State Directors Meeting- June 2013

  6. Overarching Challenges Expectations: Consumers and funders expect multi-channel, 24-hour, high-quality service that provides cost-effective results. Changes in the human service delivery system demand a responsive 2-1-1 system with clear decision-making roles and authority at the national and state levels. The foreseeable political and economic climate demands a different approach than during the formative years of 2-1-1. 211US-State Directors Meeting- June 2013

  7. Resource and Capacity Challenges No system-wide network plan for long-term sustainability: Individual system and statewide efforts to diversify funding streams for 2-1-1 have improved. Significant variance in types and scale of funding support for each of the service lines within 2-1-1. 211US-State Directors Meeting- June 2013

  8. Resource and Capacity Challenges Unanswered Demand, Suppressed Demand: Inability to broadly and consistently inform consumers about the availability of 2-1-1. Insufficient resources. Being pushed beyond capacity. 211US-State Directors Meeting- June 2013

  9. System-Specific Challenges Data and Telecommunications 2-1-1 risks obsolescence if national support is not prioritized. 2-1-1 not currently positioned to maintain or accelerate pace with changes in technology.
