Action Needed: Protect the Direct Care Workforce
On June 25, 2026, the Supreme Court cleared the way for the administration to end Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Haiti, putting work authorization for thousands of direct care workers at risk as soon as July 10. Aging services providers are already operating under severe workforce shortages—this ruling deepens it overnight.

S 4814, introduced by Senator Ed Markey (D-MA) with 18 cosponsors, would require the Department of Homeland Security to redesignate Haiti for TPS and extend protections through January 2029. Its House companion, HR 1689, passed with bipartisan support. Contact your senators now and urge them to cosponsor and vote for S 4814. Every provider that has hired, trained, and relied on a TPS-holding caregiver has a stake in this outcome and a story senators need to hear.
