The PAS Workforce ProjectAboutThis five-year research project identifies and disseminates information about Personal Assistance Service (PAS) workforce programs considered to be innovative and "best" practices. National Clearinghouse on the Direct Care WorkforceThe National Clearinghouse on the Direct Care Workforce tracks national and state policies that relate to the PAS workforce. This includes a national survey of state workforce initiatives and information on recruitment, training, mentoring, career advancement, management and supervisory training, workplace culture and caregiving practices, wages and benefits, worker supports and other valuable information. Information on innovative programs considered to be "best practices" can be found in the Practice Profiles section of the Direct Care Clearinghouse web site. Number of Home and Personal Care Workers by State The Center for PAS has tabulated, by state, estimates of
the number of PAS workers and workers per persons with self-care difficulty.
