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.

Oh hi what’s up. Been a while. My bad 😅

I’ve kinda been in a deep depression and i got fired from my job for being “too slow”… I told them I have a disability and they said it wouldn’t be a problem. Boss even told me that I’m a good paralegal/worker but that she needs someone that’s not “slow” like me 😀

Leaving me without a job around the holidays is just fucked up. Also, my apartment complex is raising the rent by $200!!

Anyways… while I’m looking for work, I’ll be finishing the 2 fics I already have in the works. One is really really long so… 😅.

If you could help me with with anything, I’d greatly appreciate it. Just for small things like food and gas. If you can’t, just sharing this is appreciated! Thanks…

Btw, is anyone else having a hard time posting links??

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

$0/$?

Good Morning Friends ☀️

I've had a rough go of it the last few weeks. All previous donations have been blessings from angels like you, helping my family stay at our motel in South Jersey.

I was hospitalized recently and unable to work or raise money to support my mom and sister.

It feels very humbling, and even a bit sad, to be asking for more shares, donations and prayers.

But we have nowhere else to turn until one of the many jobs I've applied to follows up with me.

Just like before, even reading our story is helpful.

A $1 donation, a like or share, and a prayer to whatever higher being you subscribe to would mean the entire world to us.

Much love for all the people who have donated and shared; you are all the reason one family could survive this long.

Another day of work, going so slow and boringgg

Entertain me? :3

Hope you are having a wonderful day 🖤 😘

This is some flower I had the other week, it was really good, flavor wasn't something that stood out but the effects were exactly what I wanted🥰

The strain is Pablo's revenge from Simply Herb 🌿

I'm all out of flower right now, if anyone could help me I'm out of my medicine and need just a little bit of gas money to make it to the rest of my scheduled shifts. Thank you for taking the time to read my post 😘🖤

I got kicked out of my living situation last night after I was physically assaulted by my partner. The vehicle I had been making payments on was in his name, and he's taken it from me. I have to place to stay, no vehicle, and no money. My Cashapp is $KylieLKay, Venmo @Kylie-Kaucher. I walked halfway to work this morning before someone offered me a ride(6 miles). I do have a job, but I'm afraid I'll lose it due to not having any money to survive until next Thursday(payday). I don't have anyone else to reach out to, which is why I'm posting here as my last resort. I could even pay someone back if i could just borrow money until my paycheck, which I know is asking a lot. I'm willing to do whatever it takes. My two cats are also still with him, and I'm worried he'll throw them out or hurt them. I live in a rural city in Alabama, and we don't have any type of shelter or even Uber, Lyft, taxis, etc. here. I'm hoping to find a couch to stay on tonight, but it's not looking good. If I had gas money, someone from work may help. I'm just feeling really suicidal at this point and don't see a light at the end of this tunnel.

Today is Thursday, August 24th, 2023, 3:30PM.

So, my boyfriends first day of work at McDonald’s is tomorrow at 8am and we don’t got the room past 11am as that is check out come tomorrow, so is there ANYONE out there that can help us pay for our room thru Monday or Tuesday of next week possibly?? So, me and an 8 year old and fur babies aren’t on the street while my boyfriend is at work?!! Anything helps and you don’t even got to send me the money directly. You can call up to the hotel itself and pay that way!!! I’ll load my key card with this post that has hotel information right on it. For my room number though, PM because that’s private, as it should be! Unless you already happen to know our room number then that’s fine!! Thanks in advance!!!
