Temporary Assistance for Needy Families
Department Of Health And Human Services, Administration For Children And Families
The TANF program issues awards to States and the District of Columbia, Territories, and Indian Tribes to assist needy families with children so that children can be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives; end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage; prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies; and encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.
Jargon-free version
Helps families with children who need support to stay together and become self-sufficient. Provides resources for job training and encourages stable family structures.
