Strengthening TANF Outcomes By Developing Two-Generation Approaches To Build Economic Security

The Office of Family Assistance (OFA) published an Information Memorandum (IM) on opportunities for TANF agencies to strengthen program outcomes by developing two-generation approaches, which meet the needs of children and parents together. The IM describes components of two-generation approaches that agencies can design and implement, including coordination and partnership, high quality workforce development, high quality early childhood development, and social capital development. In addition, the IM provides examples of two-generation approaches that are currently being implemented at the state and local levels.
