D.C. 211 receives a $9 million grant to expand social services helpline for families in need

D.C. 211 has been awarded a $9 million grant to expand its social services helpline for families in need. The grant, provided by the Office of Victim Services and Justice Grants, will allow D.C. 211 to enhance its capabilities and reach more residents who require assistance.

The helpline, which is available 24/7, provides information and referrals for a range of social services, including housing, food assistance, mental health resources, and more. With the grant funding, D.C. 211 will be able to hire additional staff, upgrade its technology, and implement new programs to better serve the community.

Rico Fabio, the Executive Director of D.C. 211, expressed gratitude for the grant and emphasized the organization’s commitment to supporting families in need. “This funding will enable us to make a positive impact on even more lives and ensure that every resident has access to the help they need,” he said.

The expanded services are expected to benefit thousands of families in the D.C. area, helping them navigate the complex social services system and connect them with the resources they need to thrive.
