HB 2595 Pennsylvania House · 2023-2024 Regular Session

An Act establishing and providing for the Nursing Assistant Workforce Hub Program; establishing the Nursing Assistant Workforce Hub Program Account; and making a transfer.

This bill creates the Nursing Assistant Workforce Hub Program to help Pennsylvania recruit and train staff for nursing homes. It directs the Department of Community and Economic Development to divide the state into four regions and award grants of up to $4 million to nonprofit organizations to run local hubs. These hubs can use the funds for building facilities, hiring staff, providing job placement services, and offering financial support to help workers get certified. The program is funded by a $16 million transfer from the state's General Fund and requires annual reporting on progress and outcomes.
