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 was created and put into implementation in support of the Los Angeles County Homeless Initiative recommendations in response to and in support of the County’s effort to address and combat homelessness in the communities residing within Los Angeles County. Our organization follows a hybrid work structure where employees work both remotely and from the office, as needed.
The largest HFH program is the Permanent Supportive Housing (PSH) program that has housed close to 20,000 individuals since 2012. In addition to ensuring payment of rent, HFH contracts with community-based organizations (CBOs) to hire intensive case management services (ICMS) workers to work inside the client’s homes to provide wrap-around case management and tenancy support services to these clients. Recently, the Department of Mental Health (DMH) and the Department of Public Health (DPH’s) Substance Abuse Prevention and Control (SAPC) program joined forces with HFH to contract CBOs to provide on-site mental health and substance use services as well. This joint program is called the Integrated Services Program (ISP) with the goal of providing field-based interdisciplinary care for individuals struggling with physical and behavioral health comorbidities and improve their health outcomes and optimize their function and quality of life.
The ISP workers include the DHS contracted ICMS providers, the DMH- contracted Housing Supported Services Program (HSSP) and Full-Service Partnership (FSP) mental health case managers, and the SAPC-contracted Client Engagement and Navigation Services (CENS) substance use counselors. Together, the ICMS, HSSP/FSP, and CENS workers provide interdisciplinary care management services to formerly homeless clients with co-occurring disorders who are now living in permanent supportive housing (PSH).
The Staff Development Specialist is an experienced trainer/technical advisor (TA) who is an expert in field-based complex care management and who has at least 5 years of experience in providing and leading interdisciplinary care to patients with co-occurring physical health, mental health, and addiction issues. This Staff Development Specialist will be responsible for facilitating 10-15 cross-agency case conferences per week, preparing and conducting bi-monthly case-based learning sessions and learning webinars for all ISP personnel, and providing daily curbside consultation to Integrated Services Program (ISP) workers across the 8 service planning areas (SPAs) in Los Angeles County.
The Staff Development Specialist will work under the direction of the Clinical Support Program Medical Director. Staff Development Specialist will work closely with the PSH Program ISP lead as well as with the PSH Clinical Support Program clinicians that include mid-level providers, nurses, and occupational therapists. The Staff Development Specialist will also coordinate with DMH and SAPC program managers who administer the HSSP/FSP and CENS programs as well as with CBO program managers and supervisors. Finally, the Staff Development Specialist will work with the Project Manager for the ISP Improvement initiative who is coordinating with consultants from the University of Southern California (USC) schools of social work and occupational therapy to develop best practices for the county-wide ISP initiative.
