In Partnership with Our Community

2-1-1 Broward is proud to partner with organizations that are looking to provide services that fill a specific gap or address a specific need in the community.

The United Way of Broward County – Project Lifeline

To respond to the current economic crisis, the United Way of Broward County created Project Lifeline and raised $800,000 to support basic needs assistance. 2-1-1 served as the gateway, connecting those in need with services provided by 28 United Way partner agencies. In just the first two months, 2,078 callers were linked with services.

Children’s Services Council – EITC & Summer Safety Awareness Campaigns

The Children’s Services Council supports a highly effective public awareness campaign to promote the Earned Income Tax Credit. Listeners are directed to call 2-1-1 to locate a convenient free VITA tax preparation site. This year, 2-1-1 provided 3,232 callers with referrals, an increase of 99.6% over the year before.

The Children’s Services Council Summer Safety Campaign

Focused on keeping children safe around swimming pools, promoting safe infant sleeping practices, and highlighting the dangers of leaving children unattended in and around motor vehicles. 2-1-1 served as a gateway, linking callers with additional information.

Memorial Healthcare System

2-1-1 Broward partners with Memorial’s HITS Program to connect uninsured callers with health care. In just the first three months, 253 uninsured callers were linked with Memorial’s outreach workers for enrollment into primary and preventive care programs.

Emergency Food and Shelter Program

2-1-1 Broward serves as the clearinghouse for Emergency Food and Shelter Program rent assistance funds. By maintaining a list of rent assistance recipients, agencies have a single location to call and assure that services are not duplicated for a client or family.

Broward Regional Health Planning Council - Homeless Prevention & Rapid Rehousing Program (HPRP)

This partnership, funded by Broward County and the cities of Fort Lauderdale and Pompano Beach, helps families with rent assistance and other services in order to prevent them from becoming homeless. Under the lead of BRHPC, 2-1-1 Broward serves as the first point of client contact, providing screenings and follow-up with clients.

The A. D. Henderson Foundation, Inc. – Phone Based Case Assistance

With a generous grant from A. D. Henderson, 2-1-1 now offers support and follow-up to callers and families who are new to the health and human service system. A Case Manager will guide them through the procedures and paperwork requirements to ensure that families are successful in obtaining the benefits and services they need.
