Website Launch

In November 2021, DPSS launched a new customer-centered website. The new site, at rivcodpss.org, was developed through feedback from hundreds of users. The new site, which stemmed from a strong partnership between our department, the county’s information technology department, and partner vendors,

offers a modern, mobile-friendly design. It also provides customers an easier way to find DPSS’s programs and resources so they can receive the support they need to improve their health, safety, independence and wellbeing. Since launching, the new website averages 40,000 visitors per month.
