The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded a $162,251,601 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant to the Missouri Department of Social Services to provide a range of social services and assistance to low-income families with children in Missouri. The grant, with a performance period from October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025, will enable the department to offer cash assistance, employment training, child care, nutrition aid, child welfare programs, and domestic violence support to help families achieve self-sufficiency and end their dependence on government benefits. The Missouri Department of Social Services plans to sub-award portions of the grant to local government entities, non-profit organizations, and community service providers to implement these assistance programs at the local level.
