August 20th DFCS Furlough

DHS will completely close its operations on designated furlough days. Because DHS operations will be closed on furlough days many constituents will be unable to physically walk in to an office for services.

However, our online applications for services such as Food Stamps through COMPASS will still be available.

To report child abuse and neglect, reports should be made to our "on-call" process which will be in place as it would routinely be for after hours, nights or weekends.To reach our on-call staff member, please contact Non-Emergency
