This is something I did in October think we can modify it and use something similar on
messaging for our changes.

TANF - Supporting Social Services

Home-Based Care for the Elderly and Disabled

This service will help the elderly and disabled receive
services in their home to keep them from needing an
institutional level of care

Currently, 3,100 elderly and disabled individuals are
waiting for these types of services, this will reduce that
waiting list for critical services

 

Child Welfare and Foster Care

The goal of TANF is to support
children and their families.
Nowhere is this support more
needed than in child welfare.
TANF will support children in
foster care as they seek
reunification or permanency with
a new family
