initiated a call to action to
assist on the mortgage
crisis and warned of the
impact on a nationwide

UWW and 2-1-1 in projects

using the 2-1-1 dialing code
Bank of America
Objective
To provide education and
community resource support to
enable a “dignified transition” for
customers who will leave their
home (short sale, deed in lieu, or
foreclosure).
Primary
Ease the burden of the transition.
Secondary
Drive customers to engage with
Bank of America to prevent
foreclosure.
The Partners
United Way Worldwide has been an invaluable
key partner for the development of the Home
Transition Guide as well as providing exclusive
information and referral telephone services to
assist our customers in identifying community
services.
In addition, community leaders served as
members of an Advisory Group to provide
guidance for the program, including development
of the Home Transition Guide.

Tips and Lesson’s Learned
(Advice to other 2-1-1 centers)
19

Budget carefully – have a little bit of cushion, but don’t expect to turn a
large “profit.” Remain competitive.

Strategically spend the dollars (infrastructure improvement, lasting items).

Have a precise recruitment process, be critical of hires and be prepared to
remove people from the project.

Have quick access to specialists (Information Technology, HR, Building
Management).

Understand the mission of the project may differ from the mission of 2-1-1.

Be flexible – the project could require you to “learn new moves”

Don’t expect to fix everything or align the project to your expectation – the
funder has their own agenda.

Be Careful of Mission Creep!
