Description of Project
A project has been launched to develop and implement a mobile application to be used by TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) program recipients and integrated with the Case Management web application used by the State of MN called Workforce One.

The app will be modeled after one that has been in pilot for participants in the state’s MFIP (Minnesota Family Investment Program) programs and their frontline workers from county governments and local nonprofit employment service agencies. This tool focused mainly upon reducing administrative barriers for families while improving operations in county government around implementation of the TANF program. Scrum project management methodology will be applied throughout the project, which will be managed by the Workforce One Project Manager, Architect, and DHS Leadership.
