The Maryland Regional Direct Services Collaborative (Collaborative) is a coalition of individuals and entities committed to addressing the challenges of the direct care and services workforce in the Maryland region.

As such, the Collaborative connects diverse stakeholders and perspectives to facilitate and develop solutions that improve wages and benefits — as well as training, recruitment, retention, and career path development — for professionals who provide direct care and supportive services across long-term services and supports (LTSS) settings.

As a trusted resource, subject matter expert, and leader in capacity building, the Collaborative seeks to address the LTSS workforce challenges faced by Maryland workers and employers alike.
