The Kendall County Board approved the 211 system, using part of their American Rescue Plan funding from the COVID pandemic that will cover expenses for the next four years.
The company running Kendall’s 211 is called PATH and is located in Bloomington, Illinois. Once a year, PATH updates information of each service provider although the provider may offer updates at any time. Each business or agency must meet criteria for 211 inclusion.
