# Social Services Annual Update - October 28, 2026 - BOS Meeting

Chesterfield County Board of Supervisors meeting — October 28, 2026: The board received the Social Services Department’s annual update, covering workforce stability, rising service demands, and preparations for Medicaid eligibility reviews and work requirements. The director reported that staff turnover had declined 6.7% since FY24, while adult protective services and child protective services workloads had increased. The department is preparing resident outreach and partner referrals to help affected Medicaid recipients maintain access to services and meet requirements. Board members thanked department staff and leadership; no procurement decisions, contract awards, spending motions, or votes were identified.

The presentation described community resources and planned service initiatives, including nearly $90,000 secured through partnerships to assist almost 50 families facing eviction or utility interruptions, ARPA funding provided to ACTS for assistance, and opioid abatement resources supporting two housing navigator positions that were ready to be advertised. The department also outlined planned collaboration with the county’s budget and management team on technology, staffing, processes, and data. These items were reported as program resources and planning, not procurement actions.
