TANF/WIOA Resource Hub
Passed in 2014, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) facilitates coordination between TANF and the public workforce system. Under WIOA, “one‑stop” American Job Centers are required to partner with TANF, unless the state’s governor opts out. States can also include TANF in combined state workforce planning. These collaborations are designed to boost employment service delivery for low-income families, improve access to job training, and reduce duplication.
This webpage provides resources intended to help TANF and WIOA programs build successful partnerships.
