The Tennessee Department of Human Services is thought of as a safety net by facilitating nutrition programs, childcare services, employment assistance, vocational training, and protective services for Tennesseans and families in need. It's the state’s second-largest agency with an operating budget of more than $3 billion and nearly 4,000 employees working in offices in all 95 counties and has been led by Commissioner Clarence Carter since January 2021. Recently Commissioner Carter spoke with John Clark about his vision to transform Tennessee's DHS. Website Link to TN DHS: https://www.tn.gov/humanservices
