May 10 2024
The National Domestic Workers Alliance (NDWA), the leading voice for dignity and fairness for millions of domestic workers across the country, celebrates a key victory in increasing funding to Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) programs that will set the stage to raising the wages of direct care workers in Georgia following the final approval of the 2024-2025 state budget, signed by Governor Brian Kemp. This achievement represents a critical step forward in our ongoing fight to ensure Medicaid’s home care programs are adequately funded in order to pay direct care workers a fair wage and to stabilize the workforce in order to ensure access to long-term care for the aging and individuals with disabilities in their homes and communities.
