CPC Mentioned in CityLimits Opinion Piece on Home Care Workers
Tara Klein, policy analyst at United Neighborhood Houses, wrote an opinion piece in CityLimits on May 17th, 2019 titled "Stop Pitting Home-Care Workers Against Employers."
Tara writes:
State regulations force workers to accept dire wages, and it’s time for the state to take responsibility for covering these costs and rectifying a system it has neglected for decades. Solving the home-care crisis will require financial investment, but that investment will support tens of thousands of jobs and help ensure caregivers are available as New York’s senior population continues to grow. The problem won’t go away by itself: by 2025, New York State will see a 33 percent increase in need for home-health aides and face a shortage of 23,000 home-care workers.
