WHAT'S NEW

Welcome to OCS

Welcome to the website for the Children’s Services Act (CSA) and the Office of Children’s Services (OCS). This website is one part of our effort here at OCS to provide the highest quality information and support to the public, our state government partners, and local CSA programs in the spirit of “empowering communities to serve youth.” The site contains a wealth of materials and I am confident it is a valuable resource.

In the 2024 fiscal year, CSA served almost 16,000 children and families in the 133 cities and counties in the Commonwealth. With a combined state and local budget of over $540 million, CSA is a major contributor to supporting the system of care in Virginia. We are proud partners with state agencies, local government, public and private service providers, and parents and families in improving lives and communities. Thank you for visiting the CSA website.

What is the CSA?
