Federal Government Shutdown Resource Hub
Prince George’s County is home to thousands of federal employees and contractors. During a federal government shutdown, many of our residents are directly affected, facing unexpected financial strain, uncertainty, and emotional stress.
We recognize that these challenges can take a toll on individuals and families, making it harder to maintain stability. In difficult times like these, residents should know that they are not alone—our County, State, and community partners stand ready to connect you with critical resources to help sustain your health, safety, and overall well-being.
