TANF-WIOA Collaboration Series
The Office of Family Assistance’s Integrating Innovative Employment and Economic Stability Strategies (IIEESS) initiative developed the following TANF Works! TANF/WIOA Collaboration series of briefs, which describes promising collaboration strategies between Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs to serve low-income or vulnerable populations. Gathered through conversations with TANF agencies and their workforce and education partners in 19 locations across nine states, the 14 briefs identify practices that can be scaled or adapted by TANF programs.
