Families First, the state's Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, is a workforce development and employment program. This program is temporary, with a primary focus on gaining self-sufficiency through employment. Families First helps participants to reach this goal by providing temporary cash assistance, transportation, child care assistance, educational supports, job training, employment activities, and other support services.
