OVerview statement
The California Tribal TANF Partnership (CTTP) program utilizes federal and state funds to support a variety of temporary services to Indian families. An eligible Native American child must reside in the home and meet the financial eligibility criteria.
These temporary services include cash assistance, educational activities designed to increase the families self-sufficiency and supportive services.
Families are required to: show proof of their county of residence, that their children are members of a federally recognized tribe or a descendant of the California Native American Judgment Rolls and that the family income does not exceed allowable limits. Once a family is determined to be eligible for Tribal TANF services, the following TANF assistance and services may be available to the family.
Families provided TANF services are required to engage in valid work activities up to a minimum number of hours per week, unless they meet CTTP’s exemption criteria. A CTTP Caseworker or Site Manager will be able to answer any questions and assist families to complete applications and to determine if the family is eligible.
Please note that Program and Services are pending readiness in some locations!!

Teen Pregnancy Prevention
Classes are confidential, truthful and direct providing you with the information you need in order to make the right choices regarding you, your body and your future. The information you will learn will be age appropriate.
One of our goals is to provide an opportunity for you to ask the questions for which you need answers. We will share culturally relevant information on the topics we’re discussing whenever possible. You may also call CTTP at 1.866.720.8263.
Teen Pregnancy Prevention Program is working collaboratively with existing city, county, and state programs to bring their resources to our Native American communities.
We provide parenting classes for first time parents and those who have existing families which include parenting skills for Infants and Newborn, Youth & Adolescents. We encourage traditional parenting ways in conjunction with the dominate culture’s methods that will help our children to be successful in their lives.
