TANF The federal TANF Program is designed to help needy families achieve self-sufficiency by providing assistance and work opportunities to needy families through a block grant to states, giving them wide flexibility to develop and implement their own welfare programs. States may use TANF funding inany manner "reasonably calculated to accomplish the purposes of TANF."

  21. TANF CONT’D TANF purposes are: • assisting needy families so that children can be cared for in their own homes. • reducing the dependency of needy parents by promoting job preparation, work and marriage. • preventing out-of-wedlock pregnancies. • encouraging the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.

  22. CCDF The federal CCDF is the primary program devoted to child care services and quality. It enables low-income parents and TANF parents to work or be in education and training programs needed to work. Approximately $16 million of the funds must be used to enhance child care quality and availability.

  23. STATE GENERAL FUND The state’s General Fund is used for the ordinary operations of the state. It may be used to fund any activity.
