2-1-1 Information & Referral System Cost and Benefit Analysis

The Public Policy Center, along with the Bureau of Sociological Research, Department of Economics (College of Business Administration), and the Center on Children, Families, and the Law, undertook a study to define, describe, calculate and present the likely costs and benefits of implementing and maintaining a 211 information and referral system in Nebraska. The study was co-sponsored by the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services and the United Way of the Midlands.

The study's major components include a survey describing the current state of information and referral services in Nebraska, and a cost/benefit analysis to present the likely technical and practical costs and benefits of implementing and maintaining a coordinated I&R 211 system. The analysis will assist policymakers in determining the feasibility of establishing a Nebraska 211 system.
