Why ClearHelp is different
Every resource is vetted
We only show organizations with verified phone numbers, addresses, and active services. If we can't confirm it, we don't show it.
No fake coverage
If a city or category doesn't have enough verified data, we say so honestly rather than padding results with unconfirmed listings.
Real guidance, not just listings
Each category explains what help covers, what to bring, and what to expect — so you know what you're walking into.
Connected pathways
Need food AND help with rent? We connect related categories so you can find everything in one search, not a dozen separate websites.

Common questions
Is this free?
Yes. ClearHelp is free. We never charge you anything. We don't sell your information. There are no ads.
Do I have to sign up or make an account?
No. You just type your ZIP code and we show you places near you that can help.
Will anyone know I looked this up?
No. We don't track who searches or what they search for. You can look things up without anyone knowing.
What if I don't have a ZIP code or don't know mine?
Try the ZIP code for a nearby post office, library, or shelter. Or call 211 — they help everyone for free.
What if I'm in danger right now?
Call 911 if you are in immediate danger. If it's not an emergency but you need someone to talk to, call or text 988.
What if I'm undocumented?
Many resources listed here do not ask for ID or papers. Look for listings that say "No ID required."
What if my city isn't listed?
Call 211. It works everywhere in the US and connects you to local help for free.
What if I can't find what I need?
Call 211. Real people answer. They know what's available in your area.
