Mississippi HB689 would allocate funds for marriage counseling grants for military and first responder families.

Mississippi HB689 would require the Department of Human Services to set aside at least $10 million annually from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to provide grants to nonprofits working with military or first responder families. These grants would support marriage counseling, preparation, and support services. The bill defines "military" and "first responder" and authorizes the state department to implement policies for awarding such grants.
