Virginia DSS Regional and Local Contacts
The names and address below is a complete list of state and local Department of Social Services Directors and Regional Director. We have also listed their phone numbers and addresses for your convenience of over 120 local departments of social services. I hope this helps you locate the services and support you need from your local DSS.
You will be able to reach services programs, assistance programs, and all DSS Customer services units, including Adult Protective Services and child protective services, to report abuse and neglect and find child support and nutrition assistance programs. The social services system is here to help you; please reach out and obtain the needed services.
FOSTERVA.ORG IS NOT DSS - SO PLEASE CALL THE NUMBER BELOW, NOT OUR PHONE NUMBER. THANK YOU
