Laid-Off Workers: 2-1-1 provides one easy-to-remember number for any kind of health or human service need. In a study by the Brookings Institution, researchers reviewed the experience of hotel workers in Washington, D.C.—where 2-1-1 was not yet available—who were laid off after the September 11th attacks. They found that even when social service agencies were doing a good job making housing, food, and other assistance available, displaced workers couldn't figure out how to get help, unlike their counterparts in Connecticut, where 2-1-1 was already operating. Pat Atkins, a researcher from George Washington University, noted that 2-1-1 “enables people to get assistance before they decide to give up.”
