Family Investment Program (FIP)

The Family Investment Program (FIP) is Iowa’s Temporary Assistance to Needy Families (TANF) program. FIP provides cash assistance to families in need as they become self-supporting so that children may be cared for in their own homes or in the homes of relatives. FIP can be used all at one time or at different times.
