Desc	Long-Term Services and Supports (LTSS)ADvancing States works to enhance and expand access to high-quality long-term services and supports for older adults and individuals with disabilities. The organization provides expertise, research, and policy analysis to assist states in designing and improving LTSS programs. This includes promoting innovative service models, supporting workforce development, and advocating for policies that strengthen home and community-based services (HCBS).Our work in LTSS is organized into three focus areas to support states:1. Aging and Disabilities - Strengthening state aging and disability programs to improve services and access for older adults and individuals with disabilities.2. Caregiving - Supporting state initiatives to enhance policies and programs for family and professional caregivers.3. LTSS Medicaid - Assisting states in designing, implementing, and improving Medicaid-funded LTSS programs, including HCBS waivers and managed long-term services and supports (MLTSS).In addition to general membership support, ADvancing States offers several specialized membership programs and initiatives that states can choose to participate in for an additional fee including:- National Core Indicators for Aging and Disabilities (NCI-AD) - A quality-of-life survey that helps states measure and improve outcomes for individuals receiving LTSS. This program is a partnership with the Human Services Research Institute (HSRI).- State of the Workforce-Aging and Disabilities -- A resource designed to assist states in analyzing and strengthening the direct care workforce. The tool collects data on information on wages, benefits, retention, and turnover of the direct care workforce. This survey is also conducted in partnership with HSRI.- Direct Care Careers - A workforce management solution that supports states in their efforts to recruit, train, and retain direct care workers, helping to address workforce shortages and improve service delivery. This initiative is a partnership with Altarum.- Next Gen HCBS Program - A leadership development initiative designed to train emerging state leaders in HCBS policy and program administration. This program equips participants with the knowledge, skills, and connections needed to become the next generation of state aging and disability leaders.- Managed Long-Term Services and Supports (MLTSS) Institute - A collaborative initiative that brings together state policymakers and managed care organizations to develop and improve systems of care that support individuals using MLTSS. The Institute provides a platform for dialogue, research, and innovation to help states design and implement effective MLTSS programs.Additionally, ADvancing States receives foundation support from Arnold Ventures and The John A. Hartford Foundation to advance our work in supporting states in duals integration and family caregiving initiatives.	Desc
