211 Human Services Indexing System (211HSIS)

We have undergone some exciting changes in the last few months!

The 211 LA Taxonomy is now referred to as the 211 Human Services Indexing System (211HSIS).
We transitioned from delivering the 211HSIS taxonomy via XML to delivery via APIs.
We launched the new 211HSIS website 211hsis.org on January 15th, 2024.

Below is some additional information if you are looking to access the new 211HSIS website and you are:

211 LA is preparing to launch delivery of the 211 Human Services Indexing System (HSIS) (formerly the 211 LA Taxonomy) via an API. The API will enable licensed vendors and licensed users to receive real time updates to the HSIS taxonomy. As part of the transition to delivery via API, the current process of providing an XML download will be retired in January 2024. 211 LA is working with its licensed vendors to enable integration of the API within their applications. We are targeting to have our licensed vendor transition completed by January 2024.

The 211 HSIS website is also being updated. The updates will continue to support the existing filtering functionality and “how-to” guides you enjoy today as well as additional features including enhanced search functionality.

Below is a table summarizing the new subscription tiers related to the Website and HSIS taxonomy:
