Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) is committed to supporting families in Hanover Park, IL, by providing essential cash assistance and services to help them navigate challenging times. Our program focuses on offering time-limited financial aid for basic necessities, including food, housing, and clothing, ensuring that families have the support they need to thrive. In addition to cash aid, TANF provides a variety of services such as GED preparation, vocational training, and postsecondary education opportunities, as well as assistance with child care and job retention. We understand the importance of addressing holistic needs; therefore, we also screen for and refer families facing challenges related to substance abuse, mental health, and domestic violence to appropriate services. Eligible families may apply for TANF online or visit our local office to access these supportive resources, which often work in tandem with medical assistance and SNAP benefits to enhance overall well-being.
