The resource guide is meant to be used while you are making calls, not saved for later and forgotten. Start with the county filter, then choose the closest need: food, housing, benefits, health, safety, or technology.
Before calling, write down three things: the county or city, the deadline, and the paper or screen that is creating pressure. When someone answers, ask whether they serve your area, whether help is open today, and what documents to bring.
If a listing is wrong, send OpenACAI the organization name, what changed, and the source or person who confirmed it. A corrected phone number can save the next person a long afternoon.
