Finding a starting point for support in Kalamazoo

It can be hard to know which door to try first. The SMRC resource directory now brings several starting points together, with links to each provider’s current information.

Start with what you need today

For food, housing, utilities, or other practical needs, Michigan 211 can help you explore local resources. For work-related resources, visit Michigan Works! Southwest. For trip planning, use Kalamazoo Metro.

Explore recovery and behavioral-health connections

Recovery Institute of Southwest Michigan, Integrated Services of Kalamazoo, and Kalamazoo Harm Reduction each provide their own service and access information. They are independent organizations, and eligibility and availability must be confirmed with the provider.

For crisis or emotional support, call or text 988. For an emergency, call 911.
