For Immediate Release: Monday, Aug. 8, 2022
Takoma-East Silver Spring (TESS) Community Action Center Relocates and
Continues 50-Year History of Serving Residents in
Long Branch Area of Montgomery County

The TESS Community Action Center, part of the Montgomery County Department
of Health and Human Services (DHHS), has moved to new offices at 8703
Flower Avenue in Silver Spring.  TESS has a 50-year history of serving
thousands of residents each year in the Long Branch community of the
County.

The TESS Community Action Center is a walk-in DHHS office where residents
are connected with County services and non-profit programs and resources.
Services provided include rental assistance, childcare assistance,
financial benefit programs such as SNAP and Medicaid, VITA free tax
assistance and legal services.

TESS provides a “one-stop-shop” where staff can help residents navigate a
complex system of available services and programs. TESS was the first
County office to provide services in Spanish and Vietnamese.  Currently,
TESS staff speak English, Spanish, Amharic, and Farsi.

Montgomery County Executive Marc Elrich attended a ribbon cutting ceremony
at the new TESS location last week.

“I have worked with TESS for decades and understand firsthand how valuable
they are to Montgomery County,” said County Executive Elrich. “I
congratulate them on this new building and location. I’m proud of their
outreach and thank them for the crucial role they play in improving the
County’s health and equity outcomes while enriching the lives of those they
serve.”

TESS works closely with other County agencies during localized emergencies,
such as fires and floods, to help affected families get connected with
services, on a short and long-term basis.

After five decades at their Piney Branch Road location, the TESS Center is
now open Monday through Friday, with walk-in hours available from 9
a.m.–noon.  Appointments are available Tuesday–Thursday from 1–4 p.m.

The TESS phone remains the same at 240-773-8260.  More information is also
available by visiting montgomerycountymd.gov/TESS
