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.
