A Celebration!

In recognition of 211’s (Infoline) 40 year anniversary, United Way of Connecticut invites you to an open house on October 18 from 3-5 p.m. Tour the contact centers (211, 211 Child Care and 211 Child Development Infoline), meet with staff and listen to call examples. There will also be demonstrations on 211 Counts and the ALICE simulator.

211 Counts is the first tool to provide real-time, searchable and visual presentations of data from 211 call centers across the nation. Using 211 Counts, you’ll find a snapshot of community-specific needs displayed by zip code, region or call center as recently as yesterday, enabling you to easily check trends, make comparisons and share information.

ALICE stands for Asset Limited, Income Constrained, Employed. ALICE families are those that have earnings above the Federal Poverty Level, but below a basic cost-of-living threshold. Using the ALICE simulator, you’ll experience some of the tough choices that these families have to make every single day.

Come out to learn more about the new website features of 211ct.org and 211’s unique way of connecting state residents to local services.
