Congress finds the following: The number of Americans over age 65 or living with a disability is growing, and over 70 percent of these individuals will need some form of long-term services and supports, with a majority of individuals preferring home and community-based care. This is a major demographic shift and provides an opportunity for innovative solutions in long-term services and supports. Developing programs to facilitate high-quality independent community-based living, create and improve jobs, and address and improve upon gaps in existing systems will be essential to providing necessary services and supports to these individuals and families.
It is imperative that Congress act to address the looming long-term services and supports crisis.
