The Director shall assign each Corps volunteer to participate in a local Care Corps program. In assigning Corps volunteers to local Care Corps programs, the Director shall— take into consideration the population and geographic preferences of the volunteers; and assign not less than 20 percent of volunteers to programs that serve geographic areas in which the Director determines there is a shortage of approved services available to individuals in need, with consideration given to low-income and minority populations.
The Director shall assign Corps volunteers only for providing approved services to individuals in need through participation in local Care Corps programs. Approved services are services provided directly to individuals in need in home-based or community-based settings that— result in person-to-person, supportive relationships with each individual served; support the achievement and maintenance of the highest level of independent living for each individual in need; are supported by appropriate orientation, training, and supervision; and are provided in support of, or in coordination with, a caregiver, if applicable.
In performing duties as a Corps volunteer, no volunteer shall provide— professional medical services; administrative support services to a local Corps program; care in an institutional setting; care prohibited under State law; or any other services determined by the director to be inconsistent with the purposes of the Corps. The Director shall issue guidance describing the scope of services that may be provided by Corps volunteers. In issuing such guidance, the Director shall provide for a public notice and comment period of not less than 60 days before issuing the guidance in final form.
The term individual in need means an individual who— is at least 65 years of age or has a disability as defined in section 3 of the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990 ( 42 U.S.C. 12102 ); has difficultly with self-care or living independently; and meets such other criteria as the Director determines to be appropriate.
