District of Columbia: Office of the Ombudsperson for Children in the District

About this resource

If you’re in foster care—or used to be—and something doesn’t feel right, the Office of the Ombudsperson for Children in DC is here to help. They’re independent, which means they don’t work for CFSA, and their job is to listen, look into concerns, and help make things better for kids and young people connected to the foster care system.

You can call them at 202-671-1321 or visit ofc.dc.gov to learn more or make a complaint.
