Seven States To Participate In TANF Family Stability National Policy Academy

Seven states—Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, North Carolina, Utah, Washington, and West Virginia—and Ramsey County, Minnesota are participating in the 18-month Family Stability National Policy Academy launched by the Administration for Families and Children (ACF), Office of Family Assistance (OFA). The focus of the Academy is to facilitate development of strategies to improve the performance of the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program.

The Academy is a response to demonstrated interest of states and counties to redesign and re-energize TANF programs to ensure families receive support and services to successfully transition into employment and economic stability. OFA . . .
