Federal Workers Resources

Support for Federal Employees

Approximately 7% of Loudoun’s civilian workforce is employed by the federal government and nearly a third of Loudoun households have at least one federal employee or contractor. Senator Srinivasan knows how valuable federal workers are to a functioning democracy and is committed to fighting back against the Federal Administration’s baseless attacks.

During these times, we are committed to ensuring workers impacted by layoffs and funding cuts have access to the resources and support you need. Below you will find a comprehensive list of federal, state, and local assistance programs covering a wide range of needs, from food and housing support to healthcare and legal services.

As always, do not hesitate to contact our office at SenatorSrinivasan@senate.virginia.gov.

Additional comprehensive resources are located on the Loudoun County Government website page for Federal Workers here.
