This toolkit is designed to help interagency state teams identify and use federal resources to support career pathways and career pathway bridges for adults and out-of-school youth. In addition, the federal program summaries will aid regions and communities seeking to better understand federal resources that can support career pathway and career pathway bridge efforts at the regional or local level. The toolkit is divided into three sections: a funding options worksheet; federal program summaries; and an appendix on federal funding sources for support services.

Specifically, it describes: federal TANF grants and state funds under a "maintenance-of-effort" (MOE) requirement; how states may use federal TANF and state MOE funds to help achieve the purpose and goals of the TANF block grant; rules that apply to states when they use TANF or MOE funds to provide cash welfare to needy families with children; rules that apply to states when they use TANF or MOE funds for benefits and services other than cash welfare; certain accountability requirements that apply to states, including requirements that states submit plans and report data to the federal gove

The authors include recommendations for TANF reauthorization, including education and training for living wage employment, funding for childcare, and banning full family sanctions.

This site provides a summary of the TANF program over the past 15 years, and urges Congress to adopt specific recommendations for TANF reauthorization.
