The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Administration for Children and Families awarded the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services (PA DHS) a $537,843,717 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant (CFDA 93.558) with a performance period of October 1, 2024 to September 30, 2025. The TANF program provides federal funding to states 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. PA DHS will use the grant funds to implement a comprehensive range of social services, including cash assistance, employment training, child care, nutrition aid, child welfare programs, and domestic violence support, through sub-awards to local government entities, non-profit organizations, and community service providers across the state.
