Placer County is joining most of California’s other counties in offering residents a 211 online and telephone information system, the county’s board of supervisors announced Tuesday in a news release.
211, a 24/7 nationwide system, provides users with free connection to resources ranging from disaster aid to health and employment services. In 2018, 211 was available to 94.2 percent of the U.S. population, and its staff responded to 12.8 million requests for aid, according to 211.org. Services exist in all 50 states and in 38 California counties.
