Today, ProPublica reports on yet another big change that stands to solve a decades-long problem we first learned about back in 2016, closing a huge loophole that allowed states to divert federal antipoverty funds to governors’ pet projects, like promoting abstinence, holding “heathy marriage” classes that did nothing to prevent out-of-wedlock births, funding anti-abortion “clinics” to lie about abortion “risks,” sending middle-class kids to private colleges, and other schemes only tangentially related to helping poor kids. It’s the same loophole that Mississippi officials tried to drive a truck through to divert welfare funds to former sportsball man Brett Favre’s alma mater, for a volleyball palace. [ ]

The agency has proposed new rules — open for public comment until December 1 — aimed at nudging states to actually use TANF funds to give cash to needy parents, not fill budget holes or punish poor people.

One change will put an end to the scheme Utah used to substitute LDS church funds for welfare, by prohibiting states

from counting charitable giving by private organizations, such as churches and food banks, as “state” spending on welfare, a practice that has allowed legislatures to budget less for programs for low-income families while still claiming to meet federal minimums.

Another new rule will put the kibosh on using TANF to fund child protective services or foster care programs, which are not what TANF is supposed to be for, damn it.

And then there’s the simple matter of making sure that funds for needy families go to needy families, not to pet projects that have little to do with poverty:

The reforms would also redefine the term “needy” to refer only to families with incomes at or below 200% of the federal poverty line. Currently, some states spend TANF money on programs like college scholarships — or volleyball stadiums — that benefit more affluent people.

I'm disabled, 2 years into applying for disability, and 3 months into applying for rental assistance. I'm trying to repair my car to work deliveries again, but I've run out of money. My current work is not enough to keep up with bills, and job hunting is slow. If anyone can help with cash for my car, I'd be super thankful.

Desperately need $35 to get a new ID. I had $35 for it lined up, but Amazon charged me earlier than expected for a 6 month subscription to someone on Twitch, and now I am currently out ≈$30. I am also in need of funds for a legal name change and gender marker change. $anoraktrend is my cashapp for both.

$40/$35

$0/$?

Need help with vaccination and licenses for 7 pets (EDIT: All done :>)

we're being sued by the city because my aunt couldn't get her dogs and cats (5 dogs, 2 cats) vaccinated and licensed this year, as well as for having an outstanding $3k + late fees in vet bills from having to call emergency services for her pets in 2021. the vaccinations and licensing alone is about $700.

we are extremely dirt poor and cannot afford this. most of her disability and my paycheck goes just towards the bills. anything would help with this, but only if you are able to give.

we have until january 11th or else my aunt will need to appear in court in february

Edit: We paid everything off, thanks to everyone who helped!

Hi. Serious shit time

I need to take my cat to the vet. Hes constantly ripping open old scabs and not letting then heal and a couple other long term issues he needs to be seen for.

This is my baby and i need all the help i can get.

Secondly. I might end up homeless if i cant figure something out so that means me and my two cats will be on the streets. Hopefully it doesnt come to that but its a possibility im terrified of.

Any and all help would mean the world to me and my little fatty(yes thats his name) and if you cant help i only beg you share it around to everyone you can.

My venmo here or if you prefer on cashapp im

I'm not in a great place right now, financially or mentally. If anybody could even spare 5 dollars, it would make a significant difference. I am also selling NSFW content if interested.
