211 Assistance Programs
211 is a nationwide program dedicated to helping people find local resources for food, healthcare, and housing issues/needs, among other crises. For tenants, homeowners, and renters, they recommend contacting the landlord or lender first before reaching out to a third party. Contacting 211 can be as simple as dialing on the number on a phone. If not, there is also a search engine where people can enter their zip code and find local resources online at the link above.
