What resources are available for low-income families?

The Nevada Department of Welfare and Supportive Services offers a variety of programs and resources aimed at assisting low-income families. One of the primary resources available is financial assistance, which can help families meet basic needs such as food, housing, and childcare. Programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) provide cash assistance to eligible families to support their children and help them achieve self-sufficiency. In addition to financial help, food assistance is another significant resource available. The Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) helps families obtain nutritious food by providing monthly benefits that can be used at participating grocery stores. Moreover, there are specialized programs focused on child care assistance, which help eligible families affording quality childcare services, thus allowing parents to work or pursue education. For those seeking employment, the workforce development services offer various job training and employment services to help individuals gain the skills they need to find jobs. The Nevada Department of Welfare and Supportive Services also collaborates with community organizations to provide additional support, such as housing assistance and health programs.
