The Calling for 2-1-1 Act Summary The Calling for 2-1-1 Act of 2007, would authorize $700 million over six years to assist states with implementing and sustaining 2-1-1 statewide. States would have to provide a 50 percent match to the grant, which could come from current 2-1-1 funding in the community, such as United Way funding, funding through other non-profits, state and local government, foundations and businesses. Funding would be administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Act closed the 109th Congress with 199 bi-partisan congressional cosponsors. It currently has 122 cosponsors in the 110th Congress.
