Michigan 211’s Community Information Exchange
About Community Information Exchange (CIE)

Whether it’s housing, food, healthcare, or paying utility bills, our experienced team can help identify a resident’s needs and recommend local or statewide resources that can assist and deliver the necessary services when appropriate – 24 hours a day, seven days a week. By leveraging innovative technology and our compassionate staff, 2-1-1 can enhance communities to improve the living circumstances of all Michiganders, no matter the issue.
