SB 3009 appropriates $500,000 from Mississippi's State General Fund for fiscal year 2027 to fund the 211 Mississippi helpline. The funds will go to the United Way of the Capital Area, Inc., which operates the helpline as a statewide service connecting Mississippi residents to local health and human services. This funding supports the helpline's role in helping callers find resources tailored to their specific needs and location across the state. The bill directly affects residents who use the 211 helpline for assistance with community services.
