There is a demand for workers in care giving, and this grant will help to improve the quality of those jobs which have historically reported low wages, few benefits, and instability. The funding is both for short-term capacity-building planning grants and longer-term implementation grants.

Applications are due by Monday, July 15 at 11:59 p.m. ET.
