Block Grant 25PPWATANF

The Lower Elwha Tribal Community Council, doing business as the Lower Elwha Klallam Tribe, was awarded a $376,008 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 funding will support the tribe's efforts to provide a range of social services to low-income families with children, including cash assistance, employment training, child care, nutrition aid, child welfare programs, and domestic violence support. The goal is to enable children to be cared for in their own homes or the homes of relatives while working to end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits. The tribe has a long-standing relationship with federal agencies and has effectively partnered with state agencies, other tribes, universities, and non-profits to implement community development initiatives through federal grants and contracts.
