Delaware administers Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) through 18 local offices spread across 13 cities in the Mid-Atlantic. Most offices operate on county lines, so the office nearest you is usually the one serving your county seat rather than the closest city on a map. Health and Social Services oversees the program statewide — find your local office and its hours in the list below.
