## Resource

West Virginia’s TANF funding chaos continues as six programs get the green light while dozens of family support centers remain in the dark—operating on temporary funds set to expire in September. Uncertainty is forcing layoffs and staff departures, crippling vital services for vulnerable families. Experts are frustrated that a state audit nearing completion hasn’t clarified the delays, leaving childcare centers, legal aid, and other essential programs stranded. With no official list of unfunded programs, the state’s most critical community safety nets are left hanging in limbo, while lawmakers’ approved funds sit idle—causing stress for workers and families alike.
