Immigration Policy & Enforcement: Share Your Experience, Access New Resource

As workforce shortages persist across the aging services sector, immigration policy—both current and proposed—continues to influence the availability and stability of care teams. To better understand the experiences of members, LeadingAge Ohio has launched a short, two-minute survey aimed at capturing how immigration-related issues are affecting providers statewide. Whether your organization currently employs foreign-born staff, is exploring sponsorship, or has yet to be impacted, your input is critical. Your feedback will help inform advocacy priorities, guide educational offerings, and shape workforce development strategies.

In addition, LeadingAge has released an updated immigration enforcement preparedness resource. This guide is designed to help members prepare for potential interactions with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and ensure organizational readiness. Members are encouraged to review the resource and share any feedback to further strengthen support efforts.
