What is Families First?


Families First is Tennessee's program to help low income people with children.

To get Families First, you must:

  • Have a child living with you who is under 18 (or sometimes 19).

  • Be related to the child by blood or marriage.

  • Have family income below the amount allowed by Families First. 

If your children are on Families First, you can get a cash payment each month. To find out more, click on the button below.
