About 211 SLO Hotline

Mission
To offer free, confidential and caring support every hour of every day by providing accurate information, referral and crisis intervention to all San Luis Obispo County residents.

History
Hotline has served our community since 1970 and remains the only service of its kind in the County. In that time the agency has grown from limited infrastructure, staffing and scope of service to a comprehensive, 24-hour operation and Hotline volunteers have responded to over 800,000 contacts from our families, friends and neighbors.

Did You Know?
  • Hotline serves as the “after hours” contact for many local service providers and support groups.
  • Hotline is the only service of its kind in California primarily staffed by well-trained volunteers. Hotline’s Resource and Support Specialists provide over 8,000 hours of service to the community and handle around 12,000 contacts each year.
  • Hotline has been designated as the County's agency to provide 211 service. This easy-to-remember number assists twice as many San Luis Obispo residents find the help they need.
  • Hotline is a not-for-profit benefit corporation that relies upon the generosity of the community. Hotline donations remain local and are put to work in our community.
