Big news! The Baltimore City Department of Social Services has partnered with Maryland Family Network and the Pratt Library to distribute Chromebooks to families receiving SNAP, TCA, or MA through Family Preservation and OOH programs. This initiative is about more than devices—it’s about allowing communities to create opportunities, making lasting impact, and supporting the people we serve. A huge thank you to our incredible partners for making this program possible. Together, we’re bridging the digital divide! #TeamDHS #Maryland #CommunitySupport

Today, Governor Moore (Gov. Wes Moore) announced the awardees of the $20 million ENOUGH initiative, a first of its kind place-based strategy focused on addressing child poverty and its root causes. Awards were given to 27 geographically diverse communities across Maryland who will work to design and implement plans catered to the specific needs of the community. As #TeamDHS, we are very proud to partner with the Maryland Governor's Office for Children to create economic stability, create better educational outcomes, and foster safe communities for all of Maryland’s children. Let’s go! #EnoughIsEnough #Community

This week, #TeamDHS honors Sarah Winnemucca. A pioneering advocate for Indigenous American rights, she used her skills in five languages to mediate between the Paiute community and U.S. officials. Her advocacy and groundbreaking autobiography, “Life Among the Piutes” (1883), continue to inspire change. How do you think her legacy still impacts us today?
