The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the State of North Carolina Department of Health & Human Services (NC DHHS) a $601,325,754 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant (CFDA #93.558) for the period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The TANF program provides federal funding to states, territories, and tribes to support low-income families with children, 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. NC DHHS will use the grant funds to deliver a comprehensive range of social services, including cash assistance, employment training, child care, nutrition aid, child welfare programs, and domestic violence support. The department frequently partners with local government entities, non-profits, universities, and healthcare providers as sub-recipients to implement these grant-funded initiatives across North Carolina communities.
