Elizabeth Andrade: Answering the Call — 211, Connection & Community Support

Welcome to Unsheltered Conversations, where we explore housing and community solutions from the people on the front lines. Today we’re talking about a number many of us have heard but few fully understand—211.211 is a critical gateway connecting people to resources from food and shelter to health and crisis support. And February 11 is recognized annually as 211 Day, a moment to reflect on the power of connection in service to community.I’m joined by someone I’ve known and admired for many years, Elizabeth Andrade, Executive Director of 211 Orange County. Elizabeth’s work at 211OC and with community partners demonstrates how one call can change the course of a life.Unsheltered Conversations is hosted by Scott Larson, CEO of HomeAid America.
