VIEW Program
The Virginia Initiative for Employment Not Welfare (VIEW) is the Commonwealth’s employment services program for TANF (Temporary Assistance for Needy Families) recipients. It was implemented in 1995 as part of the Virginia Independence Program (VIP) to assist participants in attaining self-sufficiency. Qualifying TANF recipients are referred to the VIEW program. The recipients must participate in VIEW in order to continue to receive TANF with the ultimate goal of self support and sufficiency.
