Temporary Aid to Needy Families
Denver Human Services helps low income individuals and families apply for financial assistance through the Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF)/Colorado Works (CW) program, which provides monthly cash assistance to eligible participants who have followed an application process.
 
When you apply for TANF/CW, you are also applying for Food Assistance, Medicaid, and Child Support services. In addition, childcare assistance through the Colorado Child Care Assistance Program (CCAP) and other support services may be available while you prepare for or look for a job.
 
To be eligible for TANF/CW, you will be required to participate in a work-related activity; the required number of hours per week will be determined by the age of your children and whether or not you are in a two-parent household. Eligible work-related activities include (but must be approved): full-time employment, part-time employment, community service, education programs, job skills training, job readiness, or job search. If you are a parent under the age of 18, you must attend high school or a GED program and live with your parents or other approved adult.
 
Families are eligible to receive TANF for no more than five years (60 months) in a lifetime.
 
If you choose not to apply for TANF/CW, you may still apply for Food Assistance, Medicaid & Medicare, and/or Child Care Assistance. In addition, you may be eligible for a County Diversion grant — a one-time payment designed to help low-income working families pay for Section 8 housing deposits. Please call 720-944-3666 for more information.
