In recent times, many people have experienced financial crises in the United States, but currently the situation has been increased by the COVID-19 pandemic, which has generated a contraction in the world economy, lowering productivity levels in some sectors and increasing unemployment rates. The health emergency has had serious repercussions on the income of some households, as well as on health and quality of life.
In the United States, needy, low-income and vulnerable families have economic and social assistance from the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program, which allows them to receive emergency assistance. The program is offered by the Federal Administrative Services Agency (ABA), it has been designed to help people who require temporary assistance and who have generally gone through extreme situations such as job loss or eviction.
The Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program offers assistance during the first months after the emergency and assistance in finding a new job. The program is offered by the federal government through the Department of Humanitarian Affairs (HA) and is designed to help people who require temporary emergency assistance.
