Michigan 2-1-1, a United Way network and a free service that connects Michigan residents to human services agencies and resources, created a COVID-19 dashboard to show the needs emerging from Michigan communities since the pandemic began.

“Michigan 2-1-1 hopes this information contributes to the many parts of the COVID-19 conversation, planning and response efforts communities and organizations are implementing throughout Michigan,” Hassan Hammoud, executive director, Michigan 2-1-1 said.

CMF reported that in late March and early April, Michigan 2-1-1 was receiving 500 additional phone calls
