Expanding and Training NH's Direct Care WorkforceWith a population aging faster than the national average, the state of New Hampshire can anticipate an increasing demand for health care and support services and a heavier reliance on home and community-based services for long term care. It is projected that the need for direct care workers in home and community-based services will increase in the near future and demand will rapidly outpace supply. The Institute on Disability will address this growing need through DirectConnect, a new project funded by a three-year, $3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Labor. |
