ACF Releases Tribal TANF Policy Announcement and Program Instruction
Tribal TANF programs are eligible to receive additional funding allocated through the Administration on Children & Families (ACF). Federally recognized tribes currently operating a TANF program are eligible to apply for grants made available by the Recovery Act. Today, ACF released a Policy Announcement and Program Instruction on accessing the Recovery funds.
Tribes operating TANF programs under Department of the Interior (DOI) administered PL 102-477 may need to spend some extra time working on the reporting requirements by ACF in order to qualify for grant application. DOI and ACF have distinctly opposing reporting requirements. NCAI is working with both agencies to find an amenable resolution to these ongoing issues.
