The Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Mississippi Department of Human Services a $107,745,656.80 block grant under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2035. The grant provides funding to deliver services that assist needy families with children so they can be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives and help needy parents end their dependence on government benefits.
Through sub-awards, the Mississippi Department of Human Services is renewing existing programs with Mississippi State University, several regional planning districts, the Mississippi Alliance of Boys and Girls Clubs, the YMCA of Metropolitan Jackson, Canopy Children's Solutions, and the Mississippi Department of Child Protection Services. These sub-awards support workforce training and education programs, as well as initiatives that encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families, in compliance with Mississippi's TANF state plan.
