Louisiana TANF & Welfare Offices
Louisiana's Department of Health administers FITAP through 63 offices located across 38 cities, and applicants who'd rather not use the CAFÉ Self-Service Portal can start their case at a local LDH community partner site instead. Because Louisiana pays a flat grant, a three-person household generally needs income under $484 a month both to qualify and to receive the full monthly benefit — any income above that reduces the grant dollar for dollar. Before benefits begin, an LDH worker must interview the applicant and verify identity, income, and the child's relationship to the caretaker relative applying on their behalf. Questions about a pending case can go to the LAHelp-U Customer Service Center rather than a local office, since Louisiana centralizes phone support statewide.
This site is an independent, non-government TANF directory and isn't affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by any state or federal government agency. Always verify details directly with the official agency before visiting or applying.
