232-HELP/211 is the designated 2-1-1 provider for Southwest Louisiana. If you live within Southwest Louisiana or are temporarily housed in these parishes - Acadia, Avoyelles, Evangeline, Iberia, Lafayette, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, Terrebonne or Vermilion - we can help you. You can reach us via this website (www.232-help.org) or via phone by dialing 2-1-1 or 232-HELP [4357].
Please be aware that service information changes rapidly. You should check back regularly to find new information. Because this information is subject to change day by day, 232-HELP/211 has elected to maintain temporary flood-related resources separate from the main database. Please feel free to call 232-HELP / 2-1-1 for additional service information, or search our database on this website.
