Philadelphia Office of Children and Families-OST

The Office of Children and Families (OCF) aligns the City’s policies, resources, and services for children and families. Our priorities are:

Safe children.

Strong families.

Supported schools.

OCF administers a number of City-supported programs, including Out-of-School Time, WorkReady, Community Schools, and PHLpreK. We also oversee the Department of Human Services (DHS) and the Philadelphia Children and Families Cabinet.
