    We have a lot of programs though. Maybe they aren’t doing a good job marketing themselves. Were you aware of these? Or do you consider them insufficient or under funded?

    Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF): Offers cash assistance to families with dependent children to help cover basic needs, including housing.

    Homeless Housing Assistance and Prevention (HHAP) Program: Provides funding to local governments and nonprofit organizations to develop and operate housing and supportive services for homeless individuals and families.
