Dear Colleague Letter on TANF Alignment with EO 14191 on Expanding Educational Freedom

The Office of Family Assistance published this Dear Colleague Letter to address how states may use TANF funds to expand educational choice and support families who choose educational alternatives to governmental entities, including private and faith-based options. State agencies and other interested parties may find it helpful to review prior guidance, TANF-ACF-PI-2005-01, which provided information about when and how federal TANF and state maintenance-of-effort funds may be used for early childhood education, school readiness, kindergarten, and other public education programs.
