2 Presentation Goals Share a national overview of how state and local TANF programs are successfully working with workforce partners to serve shared customers. Highlight local efforts from Ramsey County, MN, including: Strategies for resource sharing of WIOA/TANF/SNAP funds and outside funding to create a seamless pathway for customers.

3 National Landscape: TANF and WIOA Coordination
4 About the Office of Family Assistance Administers federal grant programs that foster family economic security and stability Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Tribal TANF Native Employment Works Healthy Marriage and Responsible Fatherhood (HMRF) grants Health Profession Opportunity Grants (HPOG) Tribal TANF-Child Welfare Coordination grants
5 TANF Program Overview Economic security and stability program for low-income families with children. Block grant that provides $16.6 billion annually to states, territories, DC, and federally-recognized Indian tribes. Funds provide income support + a wide range of services (e.g., workrelated activities, child care, and refundable tax credits). Four purposes of TANF: 1. Provide assistance to needy families so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives. 2. End the dependence of needy parents on government benefits by promoting job preparation, work, and marriage. 3. Prevent and reduce the incidence of out-of-wedlock pregnancies. 4. Encourage the formation and maintenance of two-parent families.

7 The Value of Human Services in the Workforce System WIOA requires that programs serve individuals with barriers to employment and out-of-school youth. Human service providers already do this! Programs such as TANF provide: Case Management Barrier identification and reduction strategies Support for job retention By working together, we can address barriers, help employers fill gaps, and help the hard-to-serve achieve economic stability.
8 OFA s TANF-WIOA Efforts Provide technical assistance to state TANF programs on the integration of innovative TANF/WIOA activities. Support states in refining action plans and WIOA coordination strategies. Provide expert consultations, peer-to-peer information exchanges, and resource sharing across states and localities.
9 Methods of Coordination Integrated and aligned business services. Enhanced coordination and communication between agencies. Data sharing and integration. Resource sharing. Cross training of staff for increased access.
10 Examples of Promising TANF and WIOA Coordination Models
11 Oregon: Career Pathways & Service Integration Rogue Educational Achievement (REACH) Program Partnership between Oregon DHS and workforce partners. Steers 150 TANF families and families exiting TANF into career pathway training opportunities. Leverages training funds and workforce skill building activities through WIOA.
12 Washington: Youth Career Pathways & Work-Based Learning Spokane Trent Community Services Office (CSO) Pilot Provides focused case management for clients ages Public/private collaboration including employers and workforce providers. Pilot focus areas: Make age-appropriate employment/educational referrals to services.

13 Mississippi: Data Sharing & Integration Coordinated IT System Facilitates sharing between TANF, WIOA, and other workforce partners to coordinate service delivery.

39 MI AND COACHING All services are done using Motivational Interviewing and Coaching techniques
40 Motivational Interviewing (MI) is an evidence-based best practice technique used to help facilitate the change process. While using MI techniques, Employment Counselors (EC) use guided dialogue and the principles of compassion, autonomy, acceptance, collaboration, and evocation to help ES program participants to uncover their internal motivation towards personal change. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style of communication with particular attention to the language of change. It is designed to strengthen personal motivation for, and commitment to, a specific goal by eliciting and exploring the person s own reasons for change within an atmosphere of acceptance and compassion. Sheffield, UK, 2011 Stephen Rollick and William R. Miller, Three fundamental MI principles present during the beginning stages of the change process: Expressing Empathy (Pre-contemplation) Amplifying Ambivalence (Contemplation) Supporting Self-determination; self-determination is an inherent drive within all human beings (Preparation)
41 COACHING Coaching for Employment (Coaching) is an emerging best practice technique used to help guide a person into and through the latter goal setting stages of change: Preparation, Action, and Maintenance. While using Coaching techniques, ECs use principles of personcentered, relationship-based, and goal driven. Coaching directs behavior, energizes, and encourages persistence. Peg Dawson and Richard Guare, NY, NY 2012 PCG s Human Services Coaching Framework Three fundamental Coaching principles used during the action-based and goal setting stages of the change process: Guiding Self-determination - steer toward participant s dreams using coaching language and assessments such as My Bridge of Strength (Preparation) Unleashing Power - the can do is translated into SMART goals using tools such as Goal Action Plan/GAP (Action) Encouraging Persistence - support and reward progress and outcomes (Maintenance)
42 SUSTAINABILITY MI coaches and coaching experts WIOA and TANF teams working together to plan circles Monthly practice circles Sharing materials
