The HOPE Program is available to a limited number of Participants (including Participants on Emergency Leave) at any given time. As of July 1, 2021, that limit is 800. If the Commissioner reasonably anticipates that available funds will not support continued operation of the HOPE Program, the Commissioner shall limit or suspend enrollment or Support Services to the extent necessary to avoid negative effects to services provided under TANF and ASPIRE/TANF.
