Created by the 2021 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) Opportunity Act (TOA), the Families First Community Advisory Board brings together a combination of representatives from state agencies, local government, private and nonprofit organizations, business and industry, faith-based organizations, regional Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) partners, and current or former Families first/TANF customers.

The Tennessee Child Care Task Force was created to engage multiple stakeholders in developing ideas for improving the quality, affordability, and accessibility of child care in Tennessee. As part of its mission, the board meets monthly to share information and guide the development of a strategic plan to address child care challenges.
