CTTP continually seeks to add more partners to the consortium and to extend temporary assistance and programs to more Native Americans in need. The goal of the organization is to help families achieve self-sufficiency.
The Four Purposes of TANF:
- To provide assistance to needy families so that their children may be cared for in their own homes.
- To end the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work and marriage.
- To prevent and reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies.
To encourage the healthy formation and maintenance of two-parent families.
