Projects & Outreach: NRRS

The Nebraska Resource Referral System is a statewide database created with input from Nebraska families, service providers and organizations. The database was designed as a comprehensive internet resource that would be user friendly and easily accessible to individuals and families needing services across the state. The NRRS provides 1-800 numbers as well as web sites and email contacts to help connect the services. This database provides individuals the opportunity to have a real choice in the diverse selection of service providers by allowing users to more easily locate and compare services of local and state agencies. This statewide resource includes over 28 searchable categories, 8000 + resources, and up-to-date index listings. The NRRS is Nebraska's fastest, most accurate and convenient way of locating valuable resources online. Users' have immediate access to the specific location of the resource and a map is provided for their reference. Licensed providers are updated on a nightly basis making child care for example easier to locate.

NRRS is a collaborative project of the Center on Children, Families, and the Law at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, the Nebraska Health and Human Services System and Answers4Familes.
