The June 25, 2026 agenda describes allocations of $2,515,275 in FY27 Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) funds to nine Oklahoma higher education institutions under a contract between Oklahoma Human Services and the State Regents. The redesigned TANF model funds at least one Education Navigator at each site to support TANF and Work Ready Oklahoma clients with enrollment, short-term training, and employment-focused education pathways. Institutions include Carl Albert, Connors, Northern Oklahoma College, Oklahoma City Community College, OSU Institute of Technology, Seminole State, Tulsa Community College, Western Oklahoma State College, and USAO, with individual allocations ranging from about $199k to $435k.For vendors, this is a live, grant-backed workforce and case-management ecosystem where schools may need case management software, data integration with WRO and OKDHS, wraparound student services platforms, short-term training content, and outcomes reporting tools to demonstrate impact in FY27 and position for future TANF renewals.

Each institution employs at least one Education Navigator; TANF design emphasizes short-term training tied to sustainable employment and alignment with Work Ready Oklahoma.
