1SENATE RESOLUTION

2 WHEREAS, The stability of the human services workforce is 

3in crisis due to insufficient reimbursement rates, inadequate 

4state contracts, a constrained de minimis rate cap that is not 

5reflective of the actual cost of overhead expenses, and 

6burdensome reporting requirements; and

7people who make up the bulk of this workforce, mainly Black, 

8Latiné, and Women workers, living wages, so much so that based
