TITLE IV—PILOT PROGRAM TO 
TRAIN 
PUBLIC 
HOUSING 
RESIDENTS 
TO 
PROVIDE 
HOME-BASED HEALTH SERV-
ICES 
SEC. 401. SHORT TITLE. 
This title may be cited as the ‘‘Together We Care 
Act of 2011’’. 
SEC. 402. FINDINGS AND PURPOSE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) The ‘‘baby boom’’ generation will require 
health care attention that will exceed the current 
supply of health care providers. 
(2) There is a shortage of training programs 
specializing in health care and long-term services 
that focus on home care instead of institutionalized 
care. 
(3) Although the need for home-based health 
services transcends all income levels, the availability 
of such services is more limited for residents of pub-
lic housing. 
(4) 
Estimates 
indicate 
that 
there 
are 
44,000,000 caregivers in the United States pro-
viding unpaid care to at least one adult, representing 
22,900,000 households.

(5) Of working persons providing unpaid care, 
62 percent have had to make adjustments to work 
schedules or leave employment. 
(6) Many low-income families in the United 
States are placed in an untenable position of choos-
ing between work and caregiving responsibilities at 
home. 
(7) Many residents of public housing in the 
United States are aging and in need of care. 
(8) The Department of Housing and Urban De-
velopment estimates the percentage of households 
assisted by the Department that are elderly house-
holds is 35 percent in New York, 33 percent in Bos-
ton, 35 percent in Chicago, 24 percent in Cleveland, 
40 percent in Los Angeles, and 20 percent in Puerto 
Rico. 
(9) New service programs are needed to provide 
home-based health services to residents of public 
housing and to provide job training and job place-
ment for persons receiving assistance from the De-
partment of Housing and Urban Development need-
ing employment. 
(10) The Department of Housing and Urban 
Development should establish a home-based health 
services pilot program to meet the challenges of the

increasing number of elderly persons and persons 
with disabilities in public housing, which would si-
multaneously create an opportunity to train job 
seekers in a trade that provides home-based health 
services. 
(b) PURPOSES.—The purposes of this title are— 
(1) to give flexibility to the Department of 
Housing and Urban Development and other entities 
to establish training programs in home-based health 
services for public housing residents; and 
(2) to provide needed home care options to el-
derly and disabled public housing residents (includ-
ing elderly and disabled veterans who are public 
housing residents) and elderly and disabled residents 
of federally-assisted rental housing to allow them to 
remain in their homes and their communities.

ING 
RESIDENTS 
TO 
PROVIDE 
COVERED 
HOME-BASED HEALTH SERVICES.
