A representative from the Wisconsin Department of Children and Families would like to know how other States fund TANF case management and job development contracts? This representative is working on a MPA Capstone project focused on alternative funding allocation methodologies for Wisconsin's TANF Program, Wisconsin Works (W-2). Wisconsin contracts with a variety of local providers to provide W-2 services - counties, private for-profit and not-for-profit vendors, multi-county consortia, etc. This representative is interested in examples of pay-for-performance contracting. Policy papers, contract language, Requests for Proposals, etc. would be appreciated, as would general discussion on this issue.

A representative from Turtle Mountain Employment & Training would like to know if anyone knows of funding opportunities available now or in the near future that would service TANF clients in relation to employment and training opportunities?

A representative from Bethany United Methodist Church would like to know if anyone has, or knows of, a financial mentoring program for individuals using Social Service Organizations?
