A representative from the Tennessee Department of Human Services would like to know how other States deal with the situation if a parent misses a work activity due to child sickness? While the agency grants the parent a good cause exception not to attend an activity if the child is sick, it still impacts the work participation rate. This is especially true when there is an virus/bacteria outbreak in a Day Care Facility.

The Peer TA Network would like to learn about successful collaborations between TANF and Child Support Enforcement?

A representative from Jefferson County Community Connection would like to know if any states have programs that use state/county funds or TANF dollars in conjunction with a housing authority to enable caseworkers to place homeless families in permanent or long-term temporary housing?
