Increasing Access to High-Quality Care and Supporting Caregivers
This executive order directs federal agencies to use existing authorities to expand access to affordable, high-quality child care and long-term care, and to improve wages and working conditions for caregivers. It includes specific actions across HHS, Labor, Education, Veterans Affairs, and other agencies to boost compensation, increase training pathways, support family caregivers, and leverage federal infrastructure and workforce funding for care services. Most provisions are framed as considerations, guidance, or encouragement rather than mandates.
