The Illinois Department of Human Services (IDHS) received a $437,344,704 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (CFDA #93.558) to provide social services and temporary financial assistance to low-income families in Illinois. This funding supports a range of programs and services, including cash assistance, employment training, child care, nutrition aid, child welfare, and domestic violence support, with the goal of enabling children to be cared for in their own homes or the homes of relatives while helping families achieve self-sufficiency.
IDHS frequently sub-awards portions of the TANF grant to local government entities, non-profit organizations, and community partners to deliver direct services across Illinois. Key sub-awardees include organizations such as The Salvation Army Metropolitan Division, Southern Illinois University, Family Legacy Foundation, Illinois Community Action Association, and numerous food banks, which provide services like emergency food assistance, job training, and social services to disadvantaged populations in the state.
