Program Description

Families First is Tennesseee’s Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program. It is temporary and has a primary focus on gaining self-sufficency through employment. The Families First program helps participants reach this goal by providing transportation, child care assistance, education, job training, employment activities, and other support services. Temporary cash assistance is also provided to families with dependent children and the family is unable to pay for essential living expenses. As part of the Families First program, each participant must agree to follow a Personal Responsibility Plan (PRP). Unless a participant is exempt from the work requirement, he/she must also agree to develop, follow, and complete a work plan. The work plan is based on the individual’s needs and skills.
