ABOUT HOUSING FOR HEALTH PROGRAM:

Housing for Health (HFH) provides housing and supportive services to Department of Health Services (DHS) clients who are homeless and who have complex medical and/or behavioral health conditions. Since its inception, HFH has expanded to provide a continuum of housing and supportive services to unhoused country residents. HFH is now one of the two largest homeless housing and services entities in Los Angeles County.
DEFINITION:
Performs a variety of analytical, technical, and/or confidential and sensitive assignments in core functional areas of human resources, contract development and administration, or health programs operations and administration.
CLASSIFICATION STANDARDS:
This is a broad-based, flexibly staffed class in which incumbents utilize a similar level of analytical and technical skills and abilities while drawing upon knowledge acquired through specialized experience, training, and/or education. Positions allocable to this class that function in human resources and contracts development and administration are located in a central administrative department or the central administrative office of a line department; and positions that function in line department health programs are located in the centralized program-support function or in a centrally administered, department-wide program. Incumbents typically report to a higher-level analyst or supervisor and are responsible for carrying out a variety of analytical and technical assignments within the aforementioned areas. Assignments require the use of discretion and care in the handling of confidential and sensitive information used to support management decisions, as well as professionalism and tact in interacting with internal and external higher-level staff and management in the planning and coordination of work efforts.

Incumbents in this class receive general supervision while independently carrying out a variety of routine to moderately complex assignments, and more direct supervision during the performance of complex assignments. Each require the use of established research and analytical methods and techniques and sound professional judgment to analyze related problems and issues and identify and select the most appropriate course of action from a set of alternatives. Recommendations made at this level impact higher-level staff and management decisions.

Assignments are made in terms of objectives, priorities and deadlines to be achieved, with incumbents exercising responsibility in planning and carrying out the successive steps required to complete the work. Assignments are typically covered by established guidelines and methods. However, more complex assignments may require incumbents to make independent interpretations of data gathering methods and analytical techniques in order to achieve study objectives or seek guidance from a supervisor in situations where existing guidelines, methods and procedures cannot be applied or require significant deviations. Completed work products are evaluated for technical soundness and conformity to pertinent policies and requirements.
Management Analyst is distinguished from the Management Assistant in that the latter represents an entry-level class in which incumbents learn to apply a basic knowledge of the principles, concepts and methods used to research, analyze and resolve problems associated with designated administrative functional areas, whereas the former carries out the full range of routine to moderately complex assignments in order to gain additional professional experience in preparation for advancement to the Administrative Services Manager I or Health Program Analyst I class.
