Sustaining and growing 211 requires strong advocacy across federal and state levels. This session will spotlight the HELP Act and explore state policy strategies that strengthen long-term sustainability for 211. Participants will build practical advocacy skills—learning how to use 211 data and stories to make a compelling case for investment—and hear best practices from across the United Way/211 network. Walk away with tools, examples, and inspiration to advance 211’s impact in your state and beyond.
