Every day, 240,000 In-Home Supportive Services (IHSS) caregivers provide vital care to our aging parents, neighbors with disabilities, and vulnerable loved ones. Yet these essential workers remain LA County's largest low-wage workforce.
The average IHSS worker earns just $23,000 a year, well below the federal poverty line.
• 87% work multiple jobs to make ends meet
• 64% rely on programs like CalFresh to feed their families
This crisis isn't just hurting caregivers. It's leading to a shortage of workers and leaving too many without the care they need.
We're facing a care crisis. It's time to invest in the people who care for us.
