Direct Care Workforce Innovation Program - Workforce Development & Adult Learning
In 2021, the Maryland General Assembly passed “Labor and Employment – Direct Care Workforce Innovation Program,” which established the Direct Care Workforce Innovation Program. The purpose of the program is to provide matching grants to eligible entities that create and expand upon successful recruitment and retention strategies in an effort to increase the number and availability of direct care workers across Maryland.
As MD Labor is committed to continuing to support this work, this page may be updated with new funding opportunities. Please continue to check the MD Labor website for updates and other funding announcements.
