Why we exist
A referral is not a connection.
Georgia is not short of programs. It is short of people who stay on the phone until someone actually gets through to one.
The federal government studied this directly. In its evaluation of a model that gave people live human navigators, about half of the people who were navigated were never connected to a single provider, and had no need resolved. Nearly a third simply could not be reached again after three attempts — because people in crisis lose phones, change numbers, and move.
The national 211 network measures its work in referrals made. Nobody measures whether anyone landed. That gap is the whole reason we are here.
49%
“About half of navigated beneficiaries (49%) were not connected to a community service provider for any need, and had no needs resolved.”
