WTP – Welfare Transition Program

Florida’s Welfare Transition Program (WTP) enables welfare recipients to move from welfare to work by emphasizing self-sufficiency and personal responsibility.

The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program provides cash benefits to eligible families with dependent children. Additional TANF support services may include assistance with transportation, childcare, as well as substance abuse and mental health counseling / treatment, diversion services, job training and on going employment services.
