This bill, titled the "Supporting Our Direct Care Workforce and Family Caregivers Act," aims to strengthen the direct care workforce and provide support for family caregivers of older individuals and people with disabilities. It establishes a national technical assistance center and authorizes a comprehensive grant program to achieve these critical objectives. The national technical assistance center will support direct care workforce creation, training, recruitment, retention, and advancement, as well as activities for family caregivers. Its responsibilities include developing curricula recommendations, identifying national data gaps, recommending career development opportunities, and assisting with evaluation strategies. The grant program offers funding to eligible entities across four categories: direct care professionals, direct care professional managers, self-directed care professionals, and family caregivers, with at least 30 percent of projects focusing on career advancement opportunities. Grant applicants must submit detailed project plans, including demographic information, projections of unmet service needs, and specific strategies to reduce recruitment and retention barriers, such as assessing and describing projected compensation and benefits. Education and training programs funded by grants must incorporate core competencies, provide training on the rights of service recipients and abuse reporting, ensure cultural competency, and offer work-based learning with progressively increasing wages. Projects require extensive consultation with diverse stakeholders, including older individuals, people with disabilities, direct care professionals, family caregivers, and various state and local agencies. Grant funds must supplement existing resources, with at least 5 percent dedicated to direct financial benefits or supportive services for direct care professionals (excluding family caregiver grants), and a maximum of 5 percent for administrative costs. The bill mandates annual reporting from grant recipients, an annual report to Congress from the Secretary, a Government Accountability Office (GAO) study, and independent evaluations to assess program effectiveness. The legislation authorizes $2 million annually for the technical assistance center from fiscal years 2027 through 2031, and $1 billion for the grant program in fiscal year 2027. These funds will remain available until September 30, 2036, to support the long-term objectives of the Act.
