| Abstract | This document focuses on how states can use Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to support early childhood education initiatives. It draws on CLASP's previous report, "Financing Universal Pre-Kindergarten: Possibilities and Technical Issues for States in Using Funds Under the Child Care and Development Fund and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families Block Grant," and subsequent federal guidance. Federal regulations and guidance make it clear that TANF funds can be used to support or expand a broad range of child care and early education initiatives in a state. It is clear from HHS guidance that TANF funds can be used for child care and early education programs, serving both families determined by a state to be low-income or "needy" and those families who may not meet these income definitions. Thus, when looking for funding sources to increase access to high-quality early education programs, states can consider TANF. Although states do need to prioritize their use of TANF funds to meet the new work and other requirements included in the TANF reauthorization provisions of the 2006 federal budget, states may want to include the creation or expansion of early care and education programs that support families and their children in plans for their TANF programs. This document gives several examples from states that that have used TANF or Maintenance of Effort (MOE) funds in 2004 to improve access to or expand the availability of early care and education programs.
