Temporary Assistance To Needy Families/Choices
The TANF/Choices (Temporary Assistance to Needy Families) Program is designed to assist Texas Department of Human Services (TDHS) TANF certified recipients attain self-sufficiency by exposing them to the local job market as soon as possible, and to provide these recipients with the needed support services such as child care and transportation allowances to facilitate the employment entry process.
The Workforce Solutions Middle Rio Grande inherited three full-service Choices counties (Maverick, Uvalde and Val Verde) from the Texas Workforce Commission on September 1, 1998.
Since then, WSMRG has expanded the program to include Dimmit, LaSalle and Zavala counties.
At present, WSMRG staff are analyzing TANF population data in some of the minimum service counties (Edwards, Kinney, and Real) with the thought of expanding the full service designation to these counties to assure TANF recipients have the necessary assistance in gaining and keeping employment.
