The Cherokee Nation received a $11,966,250 block grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (HHS ACF) under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program (CFDA #93.558). The award period is from October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
Under this TANF block grant, the Cherokee Nation will provide assistance and work programs to needy families with children so the children can be cared for in their own homes or relatives' homes. The goal is to help families achieve self-sufficiency, reduce dependency on government benefits, and end the cycle of poverty. As a block grant, the Cherokee Nation has flexibility to determine how best to structure their programs and services to meet the unique needs of their community.
