2026 TANF Block Grant Award Summary

The Department of Health and Human Services, Office of Family Assistance awarded $532,755 to the Salt River Pima-Maricopa Indian Community (SRPMIC) under the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Block Grant program (CFDA 93.558) for the fiscal year October 1, 2025 through September 30, 2026. The TANF program provides block grant funding to federally recognized Indian tribes to assist low-income families with children through comprehensive social services designed to promote self-sufficiency and economic independence.

Under this award, SRPMIC delivers essential assistance services including financial support to needy families, employment training and job preparation programs, child care services, and related social services aimed at enabling children to be cared for in their own homes or the homes of relatives. The funding supports SRPMIC's Administration Division in implementing culturally appropriate assistance programs consistent with the tribe's TANF plan, which is subject to approval by the Administration for Children and Families. TANF awards to Indian tribes are distributed quarterly following plan approval, and recipients must maintain compliance with federal audit and reporting requirements under 2 CFR Part 200 and HHS-specific provisions in 2 CFR Part 300.
