WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Dads Caucus Chair Congressman Jimmy Gomez (CA-34) convened the first-ever National Summit on the Caregiving Crisis, bringing together Members of Congress, labor leaders, advocates, and policy experts to confront a key driver of rising costs for American families: the high cost of care. The summit marked a growing effort within the Democratic Caucus, led by Rep. Gomez and a coalition of House leaders, to elevate caregiving as a central cost-of-living issue, and to advance policies that lower costs, support caregivers, and strengthen the care economy. Throughout the day, Members of Congress, policy experts, and advocates outlined a forward-looking agenda to rebuild care infrastructure, expand access to affordable childcare, establish national paid family and medical leave, strengthen the caregiving workforce, and expand home and community-based services for seniors and people with disabilities.

Assessments
Verified evidence documents Gomez-led effort in 2026 to advance an agenda including expanded home and community-based services, and separately documents that ARP section 9817 led states to spend nearly $37 billion to enhance, expand, or strengthen HCBS. However, the verified passages do not establish Gomez's material contribution to the ARP outcome or show enactment of a Gomez-led expansion tied to this commitment. Mere effort without a documented attributable enacted outcome is unresolved.
The evidence shows Jimmy Gomez consistently advocated for seniors' care and caregiving-related issues, including a caregiving briefing and issue-page emphasis on Medicare and nursing-home concerns. However, it does not document that home and community-based services were actually expanded, nor that he materially drove a specific enacted result. The promise therefore remains unproven rather than fulfilled.
