About this resource

The program provides financial support to low-income families with children, aimed at helping them achieve self-sufficiency. This cash assistance is designed to cover essential needs like food, clothing, housing, 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 essential life skills.
