Summary
The Direct CARE Opportunity Act of 2026 directs the Secretary of Labor to award multi-year grants to eligible entities—including states, nonprofits, labor organizations, and tribal entities—to develop and implement strategies for recruiting, retaining, and advancing direct care workers. The bill defines direct care workers broadly to include direct support professionals, home and community-based care providers, respite care providers, and related positions. Grantees must consult with workers, service recipients, and relevant stakeholders, and any wages provided must meet or exceed federal or state minimum wage requirements and applicable collective bargaining agreements.
