Ombudsman

In the S.C. Office of Ombudsman, we deliver people-focused customer service to the citizens of South Carolina and take pride in addressing your concerns as quickly and efficiently as possible. We believe it is important for government to embody a culture of customer service and to work with citizens to solve problems.

For local issues, your city or county government is the main point of contact. For matters of national concern, such as immigration, please contact the federal government.

Citizen Assistance Programs

The Office of Executive Policy and Programs (OEPP) serves the residents of South Carolina through Citizen Assistance Programs that provide essential services to people living with disabilities, those in need of help with home utility expenses and small and minority-owned businesses.

The South Carolina Office of Ombudsman acts as a facilitator in guiding citizens to government resources that will address their issues.
