Information & Referral
Information and Referral services are offered over the telephone to
people with disabilities, family members, businesses, professionals and
the general public. Information and Referral services provide the
caller with information about disability related resources, rights,
organizations, programs, and services.
People with disabilities in search of critical services such as
emergency financial assistance, food, shelter, child care, jobs, or
mental health support often do not know where to begin. Looking for
help means locating dozens of phone numbers and/or websites (for those
who have access), and then searching through a maze of agencies and
services to make the right connection. Information and Referral was
created to help people negotiate this maze and to provide a link
between the individual and the services available in their community.
