Current as of:
The Office of Family Assistance (OFA) administers three tribal grant programs:
- Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TTANF)
- Native Employment Works (NEW)
- Tribal TANF-Child Welfare Grant Program (TTCW)
These tribal programs give federally federally-recognized Indian tribes flexibility to design welfare, jobs, and child welfare programs that promote work and responsibility and strengthen families.
