Orange County Residents,
We know news about the federal government shutdown can be unsettling. Please know that Orange County Government remains open and will continue providing core local services.
Programs That Could See Delays or Changes
The departments most likely to be affected are:
- Aging
- Housing
- *Social Services
- Transportation Services
Additionally, the shutdown could potentially delay FEMA reimbursements for damage to public facilities caused by Tropical Storm Chantal.
*At this time, critical benefits such as Medicaid and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) are expected to continue.
What the County is Doing
- Continuity of Operations: County services are fully staffed and operating on normal schedules.
- Monitoring & Updates: We are tracking federal guidance closely and will share updates at orangecountync.gov.
We remain committed to supporting our community throughout this period.
