The goal of the Native TANF Program, (NTP), is to provide cash assistance and supportive services to eligible needy Indian families with children in need of temporary aid and services. The NTP may provide parent(s), or caretaker relatives who are participants, with job preparation, employment opportunities, and supportive services to increase self-sufficiency.

The four purposes of NTP are to provide assistance to needy families so their children may be cared for in their own homes, end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work and marriage, prevent and reduce out of wedlock pregnancies and encourage the formation and maintenance of two parent families. Cultural sensitivity is built into our service delivery models. Native families are more comfortable with culturally relevant based programs which specifically address their needs.
