Information and Referral

INFORMATION AND REFERRAL

For more than 55 years, Arizona families and human service workers have relied on Information & Referral. Through the I&R directory, 2-1-1 helpline, and website, anyone in our community can easily connect with thousands of available resources.

2-1-1 Arizona

Information & Referral, which became a program of Our Family Services in 2008, collects and updates information on community services in the six Southern Arizona counties of Cochise, Graham, Greenlee, Pima, Santa Cruz and Yuma.

I&R works in partnership with 2-1-1 Arizona, a program of Solari Crisis & Human Services, which collects the information for the rest of the state and operates the 2-1-1 helpline now answering calls from all of Arizona.

Together, these two agencies maintain a free, searchable online database of thousands of health and human services across Arizona. Services such as domestic violence shelters, emergency shelter, GED preparation, parenting classes, assistive technology, utilities assistance, food boxes, medical care, jobs training, childcare, legal aid, and counseling.
