Office of the First Lady

The Office of the First Lady (OFL) is the staff accountable to the first lady of the United States. The office and its responsibilities, while not constitutionally mandated, have grown as the role of the first lady has grown and formalized through the history of the United States. The Office of the First Lady is an entity of the White House Office, part of the Executive Office of the President. The physical offices were located in the White House's East Wing, prior to its demolition in October 2025. They have been temporarily relocated to other parts of the White House complex until the completion of the White House State Ballroom. The current first lady is Melania Trump, assuming office on January 20, 2025. However, she would cease living in Washington D.C. by October 2025.
