5.8.4.1n - Estimated Number of Client Households Receiving TANF or GA During Previous Month

In light of interest in overlaps between the A2H clientele and the public assistance system, it is also useful to translate the previous data on the use of TANF and General Assistance into estimates of the absolute numbers of people who receive A2H help and are in these programs. This is done in Table 5.8.4.1N.

Table 5.8.4.1n

ESTIMATED NUMBER OF CLIENT HOUSEHOLDS RECEIVING TANF OR GA DURING PREVIOUS MONTH

Did You (or Anyone in Your Household) Get Money in the Last Month from Any of the Following?	Pantry Client Households	Kitchen Client Households	Shelter Client Households	All Client Households
Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF)	467,200	40,700	16,120	524,020
General Assistance (GA)	540,200	92,400	62,620	695,220
ESTIMATED TOTAL NUMBER CLIENT HOUSEHOLDS	7,300,000	1,100,000	620,000	9,020,000

More than 1.2 million A2H client households receive TANF or General Assistance. This includes:

Approximately 0.5 million pantry client households receiving TANF and slightly more than 0.5 million receiving General Assistance.
The relevant numbers for kitchen and shelter clients are lower, with approximately 40,000 and 90,000 kitchen client households receiving TANF and General Assistance, respectively; the comparable numbers for shelter clients are 16,000 and 63,000.
