Executive Director Marla Spindel Testifies Before DC Council on Child and Family Services Agency FY 2023 Budget

Mayor Bowser defunded the FY 2022 funding allocated to the Office of the Ombudsperson for Children, and did not include any funding for the Office in FY 2023.  Accordingly, we implore the DC Council to identify and reallocate funds to ensure this critical protection for DC children is retained.
