TANF

TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) is a government program providing financial support and services to help struggling families achieve economic self-sufficiency. It offers cash assistance for a limited time, along with job training, child care, and other resources to promote employment and stability. The program aims to reduce long-term dependence on aid by encouraging work and independence, with state governments managing the funds and setting specific eligibility criteria based on income and family circumstances.
