A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CARSON,
CALIFORNIA, IN SUPPORT OF A HOMECARE PUBLIC AUTHORITY TO
PRESERVE AND STRENGTHEN THE INDEPENDENT PROVIDER MODE OF
HISS DELIVERY
WHEREAS, the In-Home Supportive Services Program (IHSS) serves as a critical
part of Los Angeles' long-term care system that enables over 75,000 low-income seniors
and people with disabilities to live independently in their own homes instead of costly and
impersonal institutions; and,
WHEREAS, through the Independent Provider (IP) mode of service delivery, senior
and people with disabilities get greater control over their own care; and,
WHEREAS, the consumers of IHSS must have the right to hire, fire and supervise
their own providers as well as the right to an effective policy-level voice in the IHSS service
delivery system; and,
WHEREAS, any reform of IHSS must preserve and strengthen the independent
provider mode of service delivery; and,
WHEREAS, any reform of IHSS must create an authority which would act as the
employer of record for homecare workers for the purposes of collective bargaining, and a
safe, dependable registry for consumers; and,
WHEREAS, homecare workers in the IHSS program must have the right to choose
to be represented by a union for the purposes of collective bargaining, economic
advancement and political and legislative advocacy.
THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED the City of Carson supports the adoption of a
homecare public authority by Los Angeles County and urge our County Supervisor, the
Honorable , to vote for the creation of said authority with all due expediency.
PASSED, APPROVED and ADOPTED this 18th day of June, 1996.
