Summary
The HELP Act would have the HHS Secretary set up a nationwide program that funds and strengthens 211 information‑referral centers in every state. It also requires coordination among 211, the mental‑health crisis line 988, and emergency 911 services, and a public campaign to raise awareness. The goal is to make health and human‑services help more reachable for all Americans.
