Study of Coordination of Tribal TANF and Child Welfare Services: Final Report

In 2011, fourteen tribes and tribal organizations received grants from the Office of Family Assistance (OFA) for coordination of Tribal TANF and child welfare services to Tribal families. These grants were designed to provide innovative and relevant approaches to coordinating services between TANF and child welfare systems. This report from the Office of Planning, Research and Evaluation summarizes the grantees’ experiences with providing culturally-relevant services in Tribal TANF and child welfare. Results show that programs were able to pool resources, share information, and expand services to families served.
