Question / Response(s)

The Peer TA Network is curious to know what strategies States and/or counties use to provide services that don't count as assistance/do not impact the Work Participation Rate (WPR), but do allow enough flexibility to provide specialized services to minor parents living with a responsible adult. What are the specific strategies your location is using to provide services with Separate State Program, Maintenance of Effort, or non-assistance TANF dollars? What partners (if any) are you working with to provide the services, what are the results on the youth, and what impact has this approach had on your overall program and your WPR?
