VIRGINIA DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL SERVICES

COVID-19 Virginia Resources

In addition to this page, which is updated regularly with the most timely information and guidance from the department, VDSS has launched COVID-19 Virginia Resources, a mobile app and website designed to streamline access to critical and actionable resources from 2-1-1 Virginia, CommonHelp, and a myriad of other state and federal agencies.

The Virginia Department of Social Services (VDSS) is working closely with the Northam administration, the COVID-19 Taskforce, as well as local partners and stakeholders to respond to COVID-19.
