COVID-19 Operating Status

The DC Department of Human Resources’ Customer Care Center at 1015 Half Street, SE, will be physically closed to prevent the potential spread of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) in the District of Columbia. While residents and/or employees are unable to address their concerns in person, we are available by phone and email.

Emergency Child Care for Essential Government Employees

Because the coronavirus poses serious risks to public health and safety, the best option for families is to keep their children at home with them.

For workers employed at essential businesses, however, child care outside the home might be a necessity. The Bowser Administration is working to ensure that essential workers who need child care have options.
