The Georgia Budget
and Policy Institute releases its analysis of the enacted FY 2013
budget as it relates to human services and an overview of FY 2013
funding for Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).
FY 2013 Budget Analysis: Human Services
This report examines key trends within
the Department of Human Resources (DHS), including budget cuts and
staff reduction and restructuring all while demand for services has
increased. What takes DHS to a new low in FY 2013; however, is the
loss of $37.3 million in federal Temporary Assistance for Needy
Families (TANF) funds.
Download the report.
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Funds
The TANF federal allocation, which
states receive each federal fiscal year (October - September) has
several components. For Georgia, the relevant components are the
TANF Federal Block Grant and the TANF Supplemental Grant. Although
Congress extends the TANF program, without the TANF Supplemental
Grant, Georgia loses $37.3 million federal funds.
