Thursday, February 16, 2017 3:00 PM ~ 4:00 PM ET

Co-hosted by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Administration for Children and Families (ACF) and the U.S. Department of Labor’s Employment and Training Administration (ETA), this webinar aims to help state human services agencies, workforce agencies, and local organizations learn more about two-generation (2Gen) approaches.

Description

This webinar, part of ACF’s Advancing Family Economic and Social Well-Being webinar series, will highlight specific strategies that two states are using to leverage Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding to support 2Gen efforts. These field innovations, model practices, and  research and systems changes are achieving positive outcomes for both parents and their children.  Presenters from Maryland and Washington will discuss how WIOA state planning and 2gen efforts have resulted in improved policies, collaboration, and outcomes for TANF families.
