This will mainly be done through coordination between Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and child welfare agencies.
The award must be used for one or more of these purposes: • For improved case management for families eligible for assistance from a Tribal • For supportive services and assistance to tribal children in out-of-home placements and the tribal families caring for or adopting such children.
• For prevention services and assistance to tribal families at risk of child abuse The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program focuses on enhancing the economic self-sufficiency of low-income families with children. The child welfare system focuses on ensuring the safety and permanency of children.
Both systems share a common mission of ensuring the well-being of vulnerable children and families, and they often serve the same families. Families benefit from strengthened communication and coordination between TANF, child welfare, and other relevant agencies and programs.
By working together more closely and reexamining the ways that the human, financial, and administrative resources of both systems are used, TANF and child welfare agencies can better meet families’ needs. Improved coordination can also help use resources more efficiently and increase participation. This award is considered a demonstration award.

It will also create a small learning group where participants can share their experiences and insights with the larger TANF, child welfare, and human services Please see ACF’s Tribal TANF—Child Welfare Coordination Grants webpage for more Principle uses of funding TT-CW awards can be used in three ways, which we have listed here along with examples of activities and services.

You could: ◦ Update standard operating procedures to reflect how referrals are made ◦ Develop procedures for joint case management when a family is served by both TANF and child welfare programs. ◦ Change how services are delivered to reduce redundancies between the TANF and child welfare systems.
◦ Cross-train TANF and child welfare staff so they better understand how the • To provide support services and assistance to tribal children in out-of-home placements and the tribal families caring for or adopting such children.

You can find background on safety and risk assessments, the importance of appropriateness of assessments, and examples of adaptations in the ACF report “ Child Safety and Risk Assessments in American Indian and Alaska Native Communities . ” ◦ Redesign your intake forms so that a family only needs to complete one form to access both TANF and child welfare services.
This streamlines the process, enables the family to access services more quickly, and increases the likelihood of maintaining family stability. You may also coordinate with employment programs, such as Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act-funded programs or Native Employment Works programs. Additionally, you can partner with home-visiting programs, childhood development programs, or childcare programs.
To build more effective partnerships, you can establish business processes, protocols, partnership agreements, referrals, implementation strategies, or MOUs with these programs. You can also commit staff and TT-CW funds to coordinate services with these partners to fulfill TT-CW program objectives.
Other related uses of funding You may also find other related ways to improve internal processes and programming to strengthen the coordination of TANF and child welfare programs. For example, you might improve mechanisms for sharing information. • This might require legal consultation to make sure that informed-consent documents and data-sharing agreements adequately protect personal information and the people being served.
• It might also require enhancing information technology resources, such as by hiring additional staff or investing in infrastructure to improve data systems. Funds may also be used for community/family engagement. For example, you could propose to conduct specific activities that nurture tribal customs and practices.
You would need to hold these activities to accomplish the goals of the program. You would need OFA approval to hold these, unless it’s in your approved application. > 1.

For example, you might provide one-time emergency assistance to a family to promote children’s safety, permanency, and well-being. You would need to accompany this assistance with actions to make it sustainable, such as proposing a change in the tribe’s plan for using TANF funds.
