Executive Summary

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides a fixed block grant of about $16.5 billion to states, territories (Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico), and Washington, DC (hereafter “states”). Additionally, federally recognized American Indian tribes and Alaska Native organizations may elect to operate their own TANF programs. The Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Reconciliation Act of 1996 (PRWORA) created TANF, repealing the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) and related programs.

The Health Profession Opportunity Grants' (HPOG) released two separate funding opportunity announcements (FOA) in 2015. The first was to serve Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) recipients and other low-income individuals (HHS-2015-ACF-OFA-FX-0951). The second was for Tribes, Tribal Organizations or a Tribal College or University (HHS-2015-ACF-OFA-FY-0952).
