This is a stated goal of TANF. The program aims to provide financial assistance and support services to needy families, ensuring that children can be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives.

While decreasing poverty might be an indirect effect of TANF, it is not explicitly stated as one of the program's primary goals. TANF focuses more on providing temporary assistance and promoting self-sufficiency rather than directly targeting poverty reduction.

This is a stated goal of TANF. The program includes measures to prevent and reduce out-of-wedlock pregnancies as part of its objectives.
