2-1-1 Database for the National Capital Region |
|
The 2-1-1 dababase project for the National Capital Region creates a searchable website (www.211metrodc.org) containing data from the region’s 2-1-1 call systems. These call systems function much like the 4-1-1 service, but are focused on human services (healthcare, mental health care, donation sites). The 2-1-1 regional database is a collaboration between the District, Maryland, and Virginia 2-1-1 call centers.
This website and database provides a valuable tool for use by case management professionals and the community at large. When accessing the database individuals find programs that are at once convenient to them and suitable for their needs.
For additional information, please contact Miguel Ascarrunz by email or at (202) 973-2506.
Funding support for the National Capital Region 2-1-1 database and website has been provided by the IBM Corporation, the United Way of the National Capital Region, as well as the National Capital Region and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Urban Areas Security Initiative.

2-1-1 Project Status
The website, www.211metrodc.org, was launched in February 2007. We are currently working on linking the 2-1-1 database to information found on other specialized information and referral sites, as well as connecting with emergency service systems to provide stronger coverage to regional residents in the event of an disaster.
