The Care Board: A Dashboard on, for, and about Care Work and Caregivers in the US

“The Care Board” will gather existing statistics on the care economy and provide a dashboard for access to the data and produce new data on the work Americans do every day to provide care for their families and communities. The Care Board will gather existing economic data on the care economy from administrative sources such as programs like Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF), Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), WIC, Medicare, Medicaid and others and house it at a website that also contains a dashboard to help users access data useful to their cause.
