Description
This program funds demonstration projects to enhance coordination between Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and child welfare services for tribal families at risk of child abuse or neglect. The primary goal is to test and document effective strategies for improving case management, delivering supportive services, and preventing child abuse and neglect through interagency collaboration. Projects should focus on strengthening existing service systems, not creating new ones, and must share key insights with the broader Tribal TANF and child welfare communities.
