NJ 211 provides live assistance 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Our services are free, confidential and multilingual. There are several ways to reach us:

Whichever method you choose, you will be communicating with a community resource specialist who has been educated about federal, state, and local systems created to help people who are struggling. Our specialists have access to a resource database of over 6,600 community programs and services that assist people who need help with life’s most basic needs like food, utilities, affordable housing, rental assistance, mental and physical health, substance use disorders, childcare, senior needs, legal assistance, transportation, disability services and so much more.

NJ 211 also serves as the State Homeless Hotline and New Jersey’s Utility Assistance Hotline.

Our History

The statewide information and referral service began in 2002 when the United Ways of New Jersey spearheaded efforts to give people in need an easy way to find health and human services by encouraging the Board of Public Utilities to designate the NJ 2-1-1 Partnership as the sole administrator of the three digit dialing code. On February 11, 2005, New Jersey’s 211 system was launched statewide.

We’ve been assisting people ever since. In 2022, NJ 211 helped over 1.3 million people find health and human service resources in local communities throughout our state. More than 980,000 people visited our website where they were able to access informative content pages about programs and systems created to address life’s basic needs; download applications and find critically important eligibility criteria. Web visitors use the very same database that our community resource specialists turn to when assisting people who contact our help center by phone, text or online chat.
