Our Regional and Local Offices 

Local Support, Statewide Impact 

The Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) has five regional offices that support local departments of social services in delivering programs that strengthen families and communities. 

Your local department is the main point of contact for case information, complaints and other support. To inquire about specific case information or applying for benefits, please contact your local agency directly. This ensures you get the fastest and most accurate help.
