Collaborating to Improve TANF Resources for Families Experiencing Homelessness
Record Description
This brief from the National Center on Family Homelessness provides an overview of ways TANF can be used to help homeless families find and maintain stable housing. It explains the difficulty which some homeless families experience when attempting to access TANF while also offering examples of state programs effectively building partnerships between TANF and homeless service providers. While it is intended for housing service providers and gives a basic overview of TANF, the suggestions for collaboration would be useful to TANF stakeholders seeking to address the needs of homeless families with local service providers.

Partnering for Children: Collaboration Between Tribal TANF and Tribal Child Support
Record Description
The Administration for Children and Families' Office of Family Assistance (OFA), Division of Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Management and the Office of Child Support Enforcement hosted a Webinar entitled "Partnering for Children: Collaboration Between Tribal TANF and Tribal Child Support." This Webinar provided the goals and objectives of the Tribal TANF and Tribal Child Support program, including conditions of eligibility for both programs. During this Webinar, speakers identified the differences between State and tribally administered TANF and child support programs. Webinar participants also had an opportunity to hear about collaborative approaches from representatives from Tribal TANF and Tribal Child Support programs at the Port Gamble S'Klallam Tribe and the Winnebago Tribe of Nebraska.
The College, Career & Technology Academy Toolkit developed by Jobs for the Future, provides detailed instructions, tools, and other resources for practitioners seeking to prepare off-track, out-of-school youth for postsecondary success.
