Plain-English Summary

The federal government would provide money to help hire, train, and keep workers who provide direct care to elderly people, people with disabilities, and others who need assistance with daily activities. The bill would also give grants to support family members who serve as unpaid caregivers for their loved ones. These funds aim to address the shortage of caregivers and help both professional care workers and families afford the costs of providing care.
