In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.

Good afternoon,
Yesterday, a staff person in my office forwarded me an electronic copy of a
PIA request you submitted via US Mail. See copy attached. In your letter,
you indicated you are "following up" on an identical request sent to us on
November 28, 2023. However, I regret to inform you that the BCDSS
Communications office never received that request.

Your request was mailed to:
City DSS Administration
PIA Office
Talmadge Branch
1910 N. Broadway
Baltimore, MD 21213

This is not our address. *Our correct mailing address is:*
Baltimore City Department of Social Services
c/o Communications Office
1910 N. Broadway
Baltimore, MD 21213

BCDSS/DHS does accept new PIA requests via mail, but we prefer that
requesters use our online portal. The online portal allows users to track
the status of their request and enables greater transparency and enhanced
communication with the department. Links to our portal can be found on our
website, www.dhs.maryland.gov. The direct link is:
https://marylanddhs.nextrequest.com/

I will manually log your request in our portal shortly, and you will
receive an auto-email confirmation once it's ready for inspection. Please
send any follow up communications via the portal. Given the delay you've
experienced, we will prioritize your request for processing.

Kind regards,
-Brian Schleter
