211 Arizona is a small to mid-sized nonprofit based in Tempe, Arizona, operating within the civic and social services sector. It delivers information and referral services through multiple channels—the live answer line, an automated phone system, its website, and a mobile app—to connect people with help for housing, utilities, food assistance, and cash programs. The organization has been part of the Crisis Response Network since it acquired the 2-1-1 Arizona Program in 2017, with a focus on restoring funding cuts from the recession to expand services for Arizonans. It provides crisis resources through a dedicated line for urgent needs: call 602-222-9444, with 9-1-1 as the emergency option. The automated system offers a menu to hear information about relevant agencies and supports ZIP code–based searches, directing users to the website for additional inquiries. A notable development in recent years is a 2022 partnership with Lyft to offer free rides to emergency cooling centers and heat relief stations during the summer.
