## Resource

West Virginia’s Ascend program just got a major boost with a half-million-dollar investment from the Greater Kanawha Valley Foundation, aimed at bringing more families to Charleston. Already, the initiative has welcomed over 100 new residents in its first year—and since launching statewide in 2021, it’s helped more than 1,500 people relocate across the state. This fresh funding is set to supercharge growth, turning West Virginia into a vibrant place where people choose to live and thrive.
