We're proud to join 80+ groups on this letter urging Congress to support the @WhiteHouse #AmericanJobsPlan to invest in direct care workers—primarily women, people of color & immigrants. It's time to lift communities & fix long-term care. #CareIsEssential tinyurl.com/h7n6zevt

Three new additions this year: 1) a ton of data on residential care aides, 2) new data on affordable housing and childcare, and 3) an analysis of CMS data on COVID-19 in nursing homes. We worked harder and longer on this report, and I'm proud of it. I hope you find it useful.

Biden's plan recognizes that we are in a care crisis, with individuals and families struggling to access the care they need and paid care workers persistently “underpaid, unseen, and undervalued.” We need this plan -- and we need it to go further. phinational.org/bidens-natio…
