The Yurok Tribe received a $2.5 million Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant award from the Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families for the period of October 1, 2021 through September 30, 2022.
The TANF program (CFDA #93.558) aims to provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or homes of relatives. It is expected that the Yurok Tribe will use this funding to deliver services that help needy families in their community and help parents achieve self-sufficiency. Some of the services provided may include cash assistance, work programs, and child care support. The Block Grant structure of this award provides flexibility for the Tribe to determine how best to meet the unique needs of families in their jurisdiction.
