Family Services

The reports housed here provide a snapshot of how Virginia protects children and vulnerable adults, supports families, and strengthens safety nets across communities. They cover child and adult protective services, adoption and foster care, grants that stabilize families, and services for those affected by domestic violence.

Child Protective Services reports track efforts to keep children safe, respond to allegations of abuse or neglect, and support families through assessments or investigations. Adoption and foster care reports show how the system provides temporary care, finds permanent homes, and funds services that meet children’s needs.

Adult-focused reports highlight protections and supports for older adults and adults with disabilities, including home‑based services and the Auxiliary Grant program. Beginning in SFY 2022, these programs transitioned to the Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services, though services continue through local departments.

Additional reports cover family‑strengthening grants and domestic violence services, showing how programs work to keep families stable, prevent abuse, and connect survivors with safe shelter and support.
