Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Temporary Assistance for Other Needy Families (TAONF) programs provide vital financial relief to Hawaii’s vulnerable families with minor children. These programs offer monthly cash assistance to help cover essential daily needs like housing, utilities, and clothing while families work toward long-term self-sufficiency. By integrating support from the First-To-Work Program, these initiatives ensure that parents have access to the vocational training and childcare necessary to stabilize their financial situations and secure stable employment.
