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’s recommendations and efforts to address and combat homelessness in the communities within Los Angeles County. The HFH Interim Housing (IH) program serves individuals with complex health and/or behavioral health conditions who need a higher level of support services than is available in most shelter settings. The program offers temporary housing in a stable environment to assist clients in stabilizing, increasing independence and completing permanent housing goals. 

The HFH IH program collaborates with County’s Chief Executive Office Homeless Initiative team to implement interim housing projects under the Pathway Home initiative. Pathway Home is an encampment resolution project with the goal of reducing unsheltered homelessness in communities across the county through the provision of interim housing and supportive services. 

The Assistant Staff Analyst (ASA) on the Interim Housing Pathway Home team will provide programmatic oversight of a portfolio of interim housing projects. This oversight includes regular engagement with contracted IH providers via case conferences and other meetings, monitoring of programmatic expectations, technical assistance, and problem-solving support. As needed or requested, the ASA will be present at IH sites to support with addressing provider and/or participant needs.
