Addressing Wages of The Direct Care Workforce Through Medicaid Policies

Aurrera Health supported research, interviews with state leaders, and a policy roundtable regarding state wage policies for the direct care workforce in facility and home and community-based settings for the National Governors Association Center for Best Practices. We produced a report, Addressing Wages of The Direct Care Workforce Through Medicaid Policies, and webinar to publicize findings. Our team identified enforcement of state policies and funding sustainability as key areas of opportunity for states, particularly among states using COVID-19 relief funding to implement strategies.
