Episode Details

West Virginia’s human services department gets a seasoned new leader: Carl Ayers, with nearly 30 years of experience, steps in after Alex Mayer’s brief but impactful tenure. Ayers, most recently Virginia’s principal deputy commissioner, will modernize state programs, boost accountability, and ensure vital services like child welfare, Medicaid, and food aid reach families efficiently. With nearly 6,000 kids in foster care and delays in school clothing vouchers due to a federal funding review, Ayers’ arrival comes at a critical time. Families can now apply for the annual School Clothing Allowance — a lifeline for back-to-school needs — through local offices or online.
