Wisconsin Quality Home Care Authority (QHCA)

The Wisconsin Quality Home Care Authority (QHCA) was created in the 2009 Wisconsin Act 28. The QHCA is an independent public authority governed by a board of directors with a majority membership of consumers and their representatives and advocates. Other components of the legislation include the creation of a registry of independent home care workers and the ability for independent home care workers to organize as a union to bargain for wages and benefits.
