FSSA HCBS Direct Service Workforce Investment Grant
Indiana FSSA dedicated $130M to direct-service workforce grants for HCBS Medicaid providers, requiring 95% of awarded funds pass through directly to direct-service workers as compensation, retention bonuses, or wraparound benefits. The first round (January 2023) awarded 826 HCBS providers; FSSA continues the Direct Service Workforce strategy under the broader HCBS spending plan, with future rounds tied to the HCBS Provider Readiness Grant program.
