DID YOU KNOW…
There is a national shortage of in-home caregivers. While there are programs at the national, state, and local levels to facilitate the placement of caregivers in the homes of those in need, there are not enough qualified caregivers available. This is where the Caregiver Incentive Project comes in!

Currently there just aren’t enough people entering into the job. There is no career path, training or accreditation for in-home caregivers. There are misconceptions about the job, like it’s a family responsibility or it can be considered “elderly babysitting”. The work shifts can be very unstable and the pay is low, with a national median pay around $9.55 per hour (BLS 2016).

Our focus is to reach out to increase the number of in-home caregivers, regardless of academic or career experience. Our intent is to increase the number of in-home caregivers by providing cost free training and financial incentives in the way of scholarships, grants, stipends, and potential student debt repayment matching funds.
