Having one cabinet-level agency overseeing a range of child- and family-serving agencies enables Kentucky to more easily share data related to Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF), SNAP, Medicaid, and other family-serving programs, and use the data to inform prevention efforts. This structure also supports the state in braiding funding streams to support prevention efforts. For example, the state blends Title IV-B, TANF, and state general funds to support its family preservation program.<\/p>\n<p>While the state\u2019s Family First Plan was in development, the state tailored a systems of care grant application to match the definition of the Family First foster care candidate population. The state also changed services offered through a grant to ensure they did not overlap with those provided through Family First, in order to fill needed gaps instead of create
