Before Contacting a Provider

CIS and Outside Resources

A listing does not imply a CIS partnership. CIS Services provide practical support and coordination; outside providers control their own hours, eligibility, fees and availability.

About Resource Labels
CIS service
Practical support provided by CIS.
Formal CIS partner
A relationship recorded as confirmed by CIS.
External nonprofit/community resource
An independent organization; a listing does not establish a partnership.
Government/public service
A public agency or public-service access point.
Authoritative guidance
Information or directories from an authoritative source, rather than a CIS service.

Check the Current Information

A review date records when a source was checked, not whether a service is available today. Confirm important details directly with the provider.

For a changed or broken listing, Send CIS a Correction. Do not include personal case information.

Immediate, life-threatening emergency: call 911. Find Crisis Resources. CIS is not an emergency response service.
