Alameda County Social Services Agency

Alameda County Social Services Agency Our mission is to promote the economic and social well being of individuals,families, neighborhoods and communities. A Safety Net. A Way Forward.

Alameda County has delivered social services since the 1930s, but 1975 marked a defining moment. With a unanimous vote, the Board of Supervisors created the Alameda County Social Services Agency (ACSSA), unifying essential programs under one organization and expanding our ability to serve, respond, and uplift our community. Today, we are proud to unveil our new brand identity and logo, a look that

reflects who we are and the core values that guide everything we do. Core Values: Dignity, Integrity, Compassion, Shared Purpose, and Accountability.

Civic engagement isn’t just voting or showing up to meetings.

Sometimes it’s helping a grandmother in Oakland, helping her claim the refund she earned and never knew she had.

Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) volunteers play an important role in helping the tax system work the way it should - fairly and accessibly for everyone.

Join us. Free IRS training provided.
