Biden-Harris Administration Proposes $2.5 Million in Support of Social Work Compact

July 22, 2024

The Department of Health and Human Services, through the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA), announced the first-ever Licensure Portability Grant Program, which is an investment in the multi-state social worker licensure compact. This grant will provide $2.5 million in support of the Social Work Compact. This welcome support will make the implementation of the Compact easier and may be less of a financial burden for LCSWs who live in states that have passed the Compact and choose to join as individuals. Please visit the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services website for more information.

More details about the Compact will be forthcoming after the September 17 meeting to establish the Commission that will be running the Compact, which I will be running as Interim Chair. CSWA will continue to provide information about the Compact as it develops.
