> The U.S. Department of Justice is interested in learning about access barriers on the State of Florida’s Department of Children and Families (Florida DCF) website: http://www.myflorida.com/accessflorida/. Florida DCF continues to transition away from providing in-person services and is relying on web-based platforms to provide prospective and current recipients with access to federal benefits such as Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, Medicaid, and Refugee Assistance. If  you have encountered accessibility barriers when trying to find, apply for, or access Florida DCF programs on the web, please contact: Brandy.Wagstaff at usdoj.gov. All information will be kept confidential.

Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can have the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
