The company that operates Arizona’s 211 crisis hotline announced funding has been secured to keep its live operators.
Arizona 211 connects people in crisis to resources and organizations for food, shelter and more.
Last month, Solari announced that Arizona 211 lost state funding and could no longer support live operator services starting in August.
But a spokesperson for Gov. Katie Hobbs confirmed that $2 million has been set aside to keep the live service going through early 2027.
The money came from the state Department of Economic Security’s homelessness funds as well as from the American Rescue Plan Act.
