In an effort to assist the customers we are trying to divert from the TANF program, a local resource sheet was created to give to the customers. As we are trying to divert them from TANF, we need to assist the customers by helping them explore the resources that may be available to them. Many customers may not know of the services in their community or local area that may be able to assist them in their time of need. By taking a few moments to assess why they are applying for TANF in the first place, we may find we can help them by making them aware of assistance in other agencies.
