"I have emphysema and I need care, but a nursing home shouldn't be my only option. My father built my house decades ago, and I am proud and determined to stay living in my house as long as possible. That is why we need a Consumer Workforce Council -- because nobody should feel forced to leave their home."

A Consumer Workforce Council will expand home care options for seniors and people with disabilities -- while improving wages and providing health benefits for the direct care attendants who serve them.
Tell our Legislators and Governor Rendell: It's Time for the Consumer Workforce Council!
Attached is the draft work product/intergovernmental agreement designed by a Steering Committee of people with disabilities, seniors, home care workers, and other stakeholders in the Summer of 2008. If you have any questions about the intergovernmental agreement, you should contact Thomas Earle, CEO of Liberty Resources, Incorporated, and chairman of the Steering Committee, at thomasearle@libertyresources.org.
