Chippewa Cree Tribal TANF Program Site Visit

Welfare Peer TA conducted a site visit to the Chippewa Cree Tribal TANF program in Box Elder, Montana based on the Tribe's Request for TA. Welfare Peer TA staff joined with consultants from the U.C. Davis Extension at the University of California to provide the Tribe with an in-depth needs assessment in order to strategize on developing solutions for programmatic improvement. The consultants, Julie Gondry and Dr. Geni Cowan, partnered to provide the Tribe with Tribal TANF subject matter expertise with program based skills in training, case management and data reporting. Based upon the assessment results, the Chippewa Cree Tribal TANF program will receive valuable recommendations to further enhance aspects of their program's structure and administration to reach the end goal of self-sufficiency for their TANF participants.
