About DC Works

Since 1975, Maximus has stayed true to its founding mission of Helping Government Serve the People®. We help citizens around the world connect with their governments. We build strong relationships between citizens and health and human services programs. We provide innovative solutions using business process management and technology. We improve outcomes for citizens and increase productivity, accuracy, and accountability for government programs.

With nearly 35,000 employees worldwide, we partner with government agencies in the United States, Australia, Canada, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Italy, and the United Kingdom.

Maximus has run the District of Columbia TANF Employment Program for the Department of Health and Human Services since 2000. Our experience helps us understand the diverse communities we serve, work efficiently, and exceed contract requirements.

We make a concerted effort to understand each community’s culture and spirit and its hiring and social service needs. Our success comes from using proven strategies to help our clients.

Community impact and the Maximus Foundation

In our D.C. program, we recognize the importance of giving back to the communities we serve. We do this by providing critical services to low-income households.

The Maximus Foundation gives grants to help with homelessness, transition services, jobs and training programs, services for veterans, and more. We choose partners who have the ability to improve communities and the quality of life. We support nonprofits and charities that share our commitment to serving those in need.
