Information and Referral (I&R)

Information and Referral (I&R) is a service that helps individuals find the resources and support they need. When someone contacts an I&R provider, they receive accurate information about local programs, services, and agencies that can address their specific needs, such as healthcare, housing, or financial assistance. The process often includes assessing the person's situation, guiding them to appropriate resources, and sometimes following up to ensure they receive the help they need. I&R aims to connect people with the right services efficiently, promoting better outcomes and empowering them to access community support.
