Low, and sometimes late, payments results in both families struggling to afford their basics and in staffing shortages, which leads to greater unmet care needs across the state and compounds the care crisis. It’s time to ensure that home care workers have liveable wages for the regions they provide care, payment for the miles they travel between their clients, and full, timely compensation. By doing this, we can recruit and retain more workers for a fully staffed home care system to meet the needs for Colorado’s future.

We are asking for your help to call on lawmakers to secure ALL of these rights:

Decision-Making Power
All of these rights depend on workers and their clients having the fundamental right to unite as leaders in care with the power to make decisions in how their industry is run.
