Help for Tennessee Families

If you ever get requests from constituents for help and resources through the State, pointing them in the right direction just got easier. A new portion of the State of Tennessee's website entitled "Help for Tennessee Families" debuted recently. The state should be commended for setting up this central collection of links to helpful information for families facing tough times. Tennesseans have often complained about difficulty working their way through a maze of voice mail systems and bureaucracy when looking for assistance from their state government. This page cuts through the clutter and helps direct people to the programs they are looking for.

The site includes a job center, sections on mortgage and financial assistance, energy and transportation, health insurance, health care, food and nutrition, healthier living, financing college, small business assistance and more.

It can be found at: http://www.tennesseeanytime.org/gov/family-resources/

I'm adding this to the links section of this page as well.
