Services such as Pre-k, after school and youth development activities for children and teenagers do not require eligibility. Generally, TANF programs and services are for a family of three making less than $30,000 a year with minor children under the age of 18. This includes a mother or father whose minor child lives with them, or whose minor child is supported by them if they live outside the home, or a mother and father whose children live with them both.

We focus on three areas that can lead to stronger families and better lives: education and literacy, employment and family stability.

Some TANF programs and services are limited to specific areas, while others are available more generally. Most TANF programs and services are available in some of the larger metropolitan areas like New Orleans, Baton Rouge, Shreveport, Lafayette and Monroe.

The Department of Health and Senior Services stores your information in a confidential, voluntary registry. At the time of your death, a healthcare professional will ask your family about organ and tissue donation. Even though you may have signed up to be a donor, your family will still have to consent for donation on your behalf. If you haven't talked with your family members about organ and tissue donation, they may not know what to do. In that case, the registry can help.
