The VIEW program offers employment, education, and training opportunities to assist people in attaining economic independence.
The program goals are to offer Virginians living in poverty the opportunity to:
- Achieve economic independence by removing barriers and deterrents to work while also providing positive incentives to work and supportive services
- Receive work skills necessary for self-sufficiency
- Contribute materially to their own self-sufficiency
- Obtain work experience through the various employment, education and training components of the VIEW program
Recipients of Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families - Unemployed Parent (TANF-UP) benefits must participate in the VIEW program as a condition of eligibility, unless otherwise exempt. The TANF-UP program is intended to provide assistance to families with two able-bodied parents.
