The two technical assistance opportunities on the application are:

- Direct Care Workforce Intensive Technical Assistance to States: This will provide up to 250 hours of individualized technical assistance for up to six multidisciplinary state teams, with representatives across disability and aging services, Medicaid, labor, and other state leaders. Participating states will receive access to subject matter experts, a designated technical assistance coach, and facilitated collaboration across state agencies to develop state-specific plans to improve and sustain workforce development and retention.

- Direct Care Workforce State Peer-Learning Collaboratives: These will allow selected states to participate in working groups made up of four to six states each, with time spent discussing innovative strategies for growing and enhancing the direct care workforce. Each learning collaborative will focus on a unique topic. The working groups will hold monthly meetings focused on group learning, information sharing, and developing best practices.

Applicants should submit their documentation by March 25, 2024 at 8 p.m. EST
through the Direct Care Workforce Strategies Center website.
