The Texas Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides cash assistance to low-income families with children. TANF is a federally funded program that is administered by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC). Families who meet certain eligibility requirements can receive TANF benefits for up to 60 months.
TANF benefits can help families pay for basic needs such as food, housing, and utilities. TANF also provides families with access to other services, such as job training, childcare, and healthcare. TANF can help families achieve self-sufficiency and improve their quality of life.
