As many as $3 of every $4 for pregnancy centers in […]

Great news. Hurray for judges stepping in as the administration is yanking the safety out from under economically fragile families and their kids. #TANF #Cokids

This is poised to crush our limited supply of child care centers who operate on tiny margins,add further burden on our state budget-already challenged to absorb other costs shifted onto it by federal HR1. Most of all it jeopardizes services to our more economically fragile families. #TANF #childcare

Kentucky and South Dakota have cut #TANF benefits, citing fiscal pressures — but TANF is meant to help families with children and very low incomes meet their basic needs, not to fill holes in state budgets. www.cbpp.org/blog/states-...

As we enter the fourth week of the federal government shutdown, the Beshear administration is working to keep essential food programs, such as #SNAP and #TANF, operational and reallocating funds to ensure seniors don't go hungry.
#TANF is a vital resource for people facing hardship, but some state TANF programs serve very few families in poverty. State & federal policy changes would improve the program's reach and responsiveness. More from Diana Azevedo-McCaffrey and @danilotrisi.bsky.social: www.cbpp.org/research/inc...
Starting today, DC families receiving TANF will keep more child support—up to $200/month, a $50 increase. Proud to work with @dcattorneygeneral.bsky.social & @cmbrookepinto.bsky.social to put kids first and get more support directly to families. #DCCouncil #TANF

In 2023, just 21 of every 100 families in poverty received #TANF cash assistance, with access ranging from 65 in California to only 2 in Arkansas and Texas. See our new state fact sheets to learn more about trends where you live: www.cbpp.org/research/inc...

The need to return to work shouldn't limit parents' choices in how they feed their newborn. These changes to #TANF show it's possible to support parents at their most vulnerable, and that increasing access to these programs must be considered to improve #healthequity.
When I was a kid, we had AFDC and paper food stamps. Now it’s TANF and SNAP. Same programs, same goals...just harder to get under the guise of "accountability." What’s really gone isn’t “welfare fraud.” It’s the collective compassion we once had for human need.
