A proposal for states to fix the failed care economy — connecting families to quality care, supporting workers with fair wages, and strengthening the workforce.
The Fair Care Marketplace is a proposal for states to fix the failed care economy.

Modeled on proven public–private marketplace frameworks, it creates a coordinated system where families can find the care they need, providers can thrive, and states can strengthen their workforce and economy.
