COVID and Safety Net Innovation (CASI) TA Initiative
Video Series Explores Collaboration between TANF programs and Community Action Agencies
Partnerships between TANF-funded programs and Community Action Agencies (CAAs) are the focus of this video series released by the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) and the Office of Community Services (OCS). Filmed at four sites across the country, the five brief videos each look at how TANF programs and CAAs are working together to help shared customers achieve social and economic success. The videos are one result of the COVID and Safety Net Innovation (CASI) TA Initiative, a joint OFA and OCS initiative that provided technical assistance to TANF programs and CAAs, helping them develop a joint action plan to strengthen the safety net.
