Tennessee's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is a state program designed to provide financial assistance and support to low-income families with children. The program aims to help families achieve self-sufficiency by offering cash benefits, job training, and other resources. Eligible families can receive assistance for a limited time, encouraging them to find employment and improve their financial situation. In addition to cash assistance, TANF also focuses on promoting responsible parenting and child well-being. The program includes services such as childcare support, educational opportunities, and access to healthcare, ensuring that families have the tools they need to thrive and break the cycle of poverty.
