The House Resolution proposes to declare February 2025 as 2-1-1 Month in Michigan, recognizing the importance of the 2-1-1 service, which has been operational since 2002. This service provides Michigan residents with free access to a wide range of health and human services, connecting them to local resources quickly and confidentially. The 2-1-1 helpline is available 24/7 and has played a crucial role in supporting the community during natural disasters, as well as assisting individuals with various needs such as housing, job training, and food assistance.

The resolution highlights the significant impact of the 2-1-1 service, noting that it received over 406,000 requests for assistance in fiscal year 2024 alone. It expresses gratitude for the dedicated community care advocates who provide compassionate support to residents in need. By designating February as 2-1-1 Month, the resolution aims to raise awareness about the valuable services offered through 2-1-1, encouraging more residents to utilize this essential resource.
