The Family Caregiving Compendium, developed by the George Washington University Milken Institute School of Public Health and the LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston, is an interactive, searchable resource tracking federal legislative and policy proposals introduced over the past decade to support America's 63 million family caregivers. Designed to organize and compare non-passed federal proposals, the compendium categorizes initiatives across five key domains: expanding and enhancing caregiver programs (such as Medicaid, Medicare, and the Older Americans Act), providing financial supports like tax credits and stipends, delivering training and education, establishing workplace supports such as paid leave, and implementing other cross-cutting policy approaches to strengthen the long-term services and supports (LTSS) system.
