Block Grant 2501ALTANF

The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $130,256,362 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant (CFDA 93.558) to the Alabama Department of Human Resources Headquarters Division for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. This funding supports a range of social services to assist low-income families with children in Alabama, including cash assistance, employment training, child care subsidies, nutrition aid, child welfare programs, and domestic violence support. The Department of Human Resources partners with various sub-awardees such as child care corporations, family resource centers, and the Alabama Department of Early Childhood Education to deliver these services across the state. The primary goal is to enable children to be cared for in their own homes or the homes of relatives while helping families achieve self-sufficiency and end their dependence on government benefits.
