What is TANF?

TANF is a federal program that provides temporary financial assistance and work opportunities to needy families. Its primary goals include assisting families with children so that children can be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives, reducing dependency by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage, and preventing out-of-wedlock pregnancies and encouraging the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.
