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.

Senior Data Scientists work collaboratively with both technical and nontechnical partners to develop and complete large-scale projects in response to identified business needs and oversee teams of data scientists and analysts as part of a large-scale project.  Incumbents coordinate and contribute to complex projects that require using advanced methods of data science such as cloud-based data design; data extraction, transformation, and loading; statistical analysis and machine learning; data visualization; and placement of predictive models, automated dashboards, and other data science products into production.  Incumbents present their findings to technical and nontechnical stakeholders to support data-driven program design and management; and provide and/or delegate ongoing consultation services to client programs to assist with implementing recommendations as necessary.
