A call to action

Since 2006, Washington 211 has been a lifeline, answering over 6 million calls and connecting people to critical human, social, and health services. When someone calls 211, they find help, hope, and a path forward—whether they need housing assistance, food, transportation, or support for their most basic needs.

Cutting or reducing 211 funding would have devastating consequences—leaving vulnerable individuals and families without access to vital services. This is not just a budget issue; it’s a human issue that affects our neighbors, family, and friends.

We must maintain Washington 211’s funding at $2.5 million per year; a total of $5 million from the General Fund for the 2025-2027 biennium.

Please urge your legislators to stand up for Washington’s communities by supporting full funding for 211.
