About this resource

This initiative provides financial support to low-income families with children as they aim for self-sufficiency. The cash assistance is designed to cover fundamental needs like food, clothing, shelter, and utilities. Participants in the TANF program may also have the opportunity to engage in the Jobs Opportunity and Basic Skills (JOBS) program, which aids in obtaining a high school diploma or GED, along with job readiness and life skills training.

After submission: - The local DHS office will reach out to schedule an in-person or phone interview - Applicants can also initiate contact with the local DHS office to arrange the interview - DHS representatives are unable to leave messages on voicemails that do not state the applicant's name in the greeting.
