SUMMARY

Housing for Health (HFH) is a program office within Health Services Administration, a division under the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS).  HFH supports the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative recommendations support the County’s effort to address and combat homelessness in the communities within Los Angeles County. Our organization follows a hybrid work structure where employees work 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 Assistant Staff Analyst (ASA) assigned to this role will support work related to the Safe Services Component of the SRAP. 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.
