Social Services

The Department of Social Services offers an array of services to eligible citizens of Fluvanna County. Some of these services include benefit programs such as SNAP (food stamps), Medicaid, TANF, FAMIS (health insurance for children), General Relief, Emergency Energy Assistance, and Auxiliary Grant. Additional services include Child and Adult Protective Services, Foster Care, Adult Services, subsidized Child Care, Adoption and Family Services. Along with the above assistance, staff will also assist with referrals to other community agencies that may be able to help with individual issues not covered by the department.

Applications for the above programs can be mailed or picked up at our office at 8880 James Madison Highway (Carysbrook Complex). Most services require income statements and other verifications but some services are available without regard to income. Although our office hours are 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., appointments outside normal hours can be arranged by calling 434-842-8221.
