families receive through TANF, how 

state policies may help or hinder 

participation in TANF among twoparent families, and how the beliefs of

TANF.

consists of semi-structured interviews 

with key State and local staff, 

community-based organization 

representatives, and adult members of 

two-parent TANF or likely eligible 

families on questions of TANF policies, 

service delivery, and program context, 

as well as focus groups with adult 

members of two-parent TANF or likely 

eligible families. 

Respondents: State- and local-level 

TANF administrators and staff, 

representatives from community-based 

organizations, and adults from twoparent families on or likely eligible for 

TANF.
