Federal Block Grant Award Summary

The Wyoming Department of Family Services received a $13.82 million Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) block grant (CFDA 93.558) from the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Family Assistance, awarded on October 1, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2026. TANF block grant funding supports the delivery of comprehensive assistance programs designed to help low-income families with children remain in their own homes or the homes of relatives, promote self-sufficiency through job preparation and work promotion, prevent out-of-wedlock pregnancies, and encourage two-parent family formation and maintenance.

Wyoming DFS administers TANF services across the state through direct delivery and sub-grantee partnerships. Sub-awards issued in February 2026 include allocations to Uinta B.O.C.E.S. #1 (Lifelong Learning Center) in Evanston, Wyoming, which provides adult education and career and technical training services to Uinta County residents, as well as sub-awards to United Education Institute and Commonunity Property for job training and supportive services. These funded activities collectively support Wyoming's TANF state plan objectives to deliver financial assistance, employment and training programs, child care support, and other services promoting economic independence for vulnerable families across the state.
