Welcome to the Westchester County Department of Social Services (WCDSS) website home page.

These are exciting and challenging times for social service agencies. We are called upon to address the needs of our customers and at the same time accommodate the harsh realities of fiscal responsibility. The Westchester County Department of Social Services is poised to meet these demands with an innovative holistic approach that combines job training, education, childcare, transportation and housing, and by initiating aggressive programs that lead to self-sufficiency. We believe we can help our customers enhance the quality of their lives, provide for themselves and their families, and make positive contributions to their communities.

I invite you to open this electronic window to the resources and programs provided by the knowledgeable and dedicated DSS staff members. They share my commitment to the delivery of quality and meaningful services. The Westchester County Department of Social Services employs approximately 1,200 people with an annual total operating budget of approximately $500 million, all working toward the goal of making lives better for the citizens of Westchester.
