Texas Conservative Coalition Research Institute (TCCRI) met last spring with 3 IDD provider associations to discuss the IDD workforce shortage crisis and their efforts to secure additional funds to increase the wage rates above the $10.60/hour funded by the 88th Texas Legislature. TCCRI prepared a white paper originally on this topic in 2019 and had great interest in preparing another white paper on this topic. After many months of research, TCCRI has published the finalized white paper. It is posted on the TCCRI website. See the link below.
Link to the White Paper: https://e42ea9dd-2882-426d-95f1-f27bebf54b2c.usrfiles.com/ugd/e42ea9_fcdce33a4d2c42e6969ce3e4d99db83d.pdf
TCCRI will re-publish the paper when the 89th Texas Legislature convenes.
