About this resource

This initiative provides financial aid to families with children who are experiencing low income, helping them work towards becoming self-sufficient. The cash assistance aims to cover essential needs such as food, clothing, shelter, and utilities. Participants in the TANF program may have the opportunity to join the Jobs Opportunity and Basic Skills (JOBS) program, which supports them in earning a high school diploma or GED, along with job readiness and essential life skills.

Application Process: Applications can be submitted online, via phone, or in person at a local office (note that Processing Centers do not provide in-person services). After submitting the application: - The local DHS office will contact the applicant to arrange an in-person or phone interview - Applicants can reach out to the local DHS office to schedule their interview - DHS representatives are unable to leave messages on voicemails that do not include the applicant's name in the greeting.

Cost: There are no fees associated with this program.
