About the Program

Category: Human Services (Best in Category)

Year: 2023

The Post-TANF Program was designed to aid former TANF recipients in successfully transitioning off the program as they enter the workforce. The program provides up to six additional months of program benefits following a case closure for earned income. During this period families receive transitional services, financial supports and incentives, and individualized case management services to transition them toward long-term self-sufficiency. In addition to these general supports, families maintain access to a dedicated staff member for crisis planning and financial supports to further aid in secure and stable transitions. Families that meet the program criteria are referred, opt into the program, and are committed to engaging in monthly case management activities to support stability and continuous employment.
