Staff Analyst - Skid Row Action Plan Safe Services (N314)

Salary Range: $6806.73 - $9820.80 Monthly

SUMMARY

Housing for Health (HFH) is a program office within Community Programs, a division under the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS) for the County of Los Angeles. HFH was created to support people experiencing homelessness with complex clinical needs.

We support people in obtaining housing, improving their health and thriving in their communities.

HFH is a core component of Los Angeles County’s effort to respond to the homeless emergency. Where appropriate to the job function, a hybrid work schedule may be available, with employees working both remotely and from the office, as needed.   

In June 2022, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors directed HFH to collaborate with several other county departments, the CEO Homeless Initiative, and the City of Los Angeles to develop the Skid Row Action Plan (SRAP)- an intentional, and targeted plan aimed at addressing the crisis of homelessness on Skid Row which has been exacerbated over time due to decades of institutional racism.

The SRAP includes several strategies to address homelessness in this area, including technical assistance and capacity building, interim housing opportunities, and coordination of placement of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) into housing.

The Staff Analyst assigned to this role will lead work related to the Safe Services component of the SRAP.

They will develop work plans, oversee the implementation of services, and provide technical assistance for the Safe Services program.

Ideal candidates will be organized, have basic knowledge of mainstream services for people experiencing homelessness, and be flexible to meet the changing needs and demands of the program.

They will also be willing to be co-located at the Safe Services site as needed.
