The Louisiana Department of Children and Family Services (DCFS) has been awarded a $122,573,157 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families (CFDA 93.558). This one-year award, effective from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will enable DCFS to provide a range of services to support low-income families with children in Louisiana. The funding will be used for cash assistance, employment training, child care, nutrition aid, child welfare programs, and domestic violence support, with the goal of enabling children to be cared for in their own homes or the homes of relatives while working to end families' dependence on government benefits. DCFS may sub-award portions of the grant to local government entities, non-profit organizations, and community service providers to implement these assistance programs throughout the state.
