Workforce 
Maine Personal Assistance Services Association (Maine PASA)
The CMS Real Choices I System Change Grant supported objectives to improve the availability and quality of the direct care and support workers who assist people with disabilities and elders to live in home and community settings. The proposed project would provide support, continuing education, advocacy and other benefits for the workers. During the 3-year grant period, 2001-2003, and with a one year no-cost extension, the Maine Personal Assistance Services Association (Maine PASA) was founded, developed and supported to become a non-profit, 501c(3) organization. The mission of Maine PASA is to build recognition and opportunity for the direct care, direct support and personal assistance workforce through education, professional development, and public awareness.
