On Tuesday, March 15, 2016, at 10:00 a.m., Lieutenant Governor Henry McMaster joined representatives from South Carolina 2-1-1, a service of the United Way Association of South Carolina, at a press conference in the lower lobby of the State House to announce a new partnership effort between the groups.  For the first time, 2-1-1 will give callers in South Carolina the opportunity to link with aging resources in their community by connecting them to their local Area Agency on Aging, based on the caller’s ZIP code.

Individuals in need of long-term disaster recovery case management are another step closer in the process. South Carolina 2-1-1 Information and Referral (SC 2-1-1) has begun Disaster Case Management Intake. Victims of the October 2015 Flood still in need of assistance are now able to dial 2-1-1 and get their information entered into the disaster case management coordinated system. Hearts & Hands Disaster Recovery, a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, will be the main provider of Disaster Case Management services throughout the state.
