The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant program, administered by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families, provided a $579,595,647.00 award to the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services (MDHHS) to support a comprehensive range of social services for low-income families with children. The funding enables MDHHS to deliver cash assistance, employment training, child care, nutrition aid, child welfare programs, and domestic violence support services aimed at enabling children to be cared for in their own homes or the homes of relatives while working to end families' dependence on government benefits. MDHHS further sub-awarded portions of the TANF funding to non-profit organizations across Michigan to provide services such as transitional housing, emergency shelter, counseling, and victim assistance for domestic violence survivors.
