The Torres Martinez Desert Cahuilla Tribe of California is opening an off-reservation office to help needy Indian families.
The Tribal Temporary Assistance for Needy Families office is designed to help people exit the welfare system and find jobs. It provides cash assistance, education services and other programs.
The tribe says the off-reservation location will better serve the 175 Indian families in the area who need help.
