Community Health & Resource Network

Local Organizations and Healthcare Providers Connecting People to the Resources They Need

Navigation and referrals to resources are free to everyone!

How Do I Get Connected?

Fill out a Questionnaire

Privately and confidentially, you will answer questions about your needs — like having enough food, a safe place to live, a way to get places, and people you can count on.

Access Resources

With your consent, an organization in our Network will contact you to learn more about what you need and navigate you to available resources in our community. Or, you can get help directly from the 211 Helpline by dialing 2.1.1 (or toll-free 1.877.211.8667) or texting your local zip code to 898211.

Stay Connected

Our network partners will work together to quickly and efficiently connect you to ongoing support.

Information Sharing

With your permission, the Network will share your information with organizations directly involved in your care.

Why does the Network need my information?

The information that is shared will be used to determine eligibility for resources, help you access them, and coordinate services to better serve you

How will information be shared?
