APPLICANTS MUST BE PERMANENT IN THE PRINCIPAL ADMINISTRATIVE ASSOCIATE CIVIL SERVICE TITLE
Overview: The HIV/AI DS Services Administration (HASA) is the primary mechanism within the Human Resources Administration (HRA) that expedites access to essential benefits—medical, social, financial, and vocational—for more than 32,000 individuals living with HIV and 8,000+ affected families. HASA provides intensive case management, rental assistance, emergency and permanent supportive housing, and assistance with applying for public benefits, including Medicaid, food stamps, and cash assistance. HASA also offers vocational services that prepare clients for employment, and it supplies home care, mental health and substance use screening, transportation, and referrals to community-based organizations.
Responsibilities
Monitor vacancies and assigned contracts that provide HASA consumers placement in Scattered‑Sites (SS) and Congregate Shelter Housing (CSH) through automated tracking mechanisms (spreadsheets, Excel, Access).
Conduct programmatic research on HASA and managed housing facilities and referrals to determine consumer compatibility for SS, CSH, or other available housing options by using placement indicators, contractor vacancy reports, placement reports, and case review data.
Provide technical assistance to vendors,‑agency staff, case managers, medical, and political advocates by imparting information to assist them in attaining agency goals of consumer placement. Analyze factors that affect service delivery; review and periodically update Agency/City policies, procedures, and social service dictates regarding HASA housing requirements; schedule and facilitate case conferences between vendors, clients, and HASA Case Managers.
Write housing specifications for placement by researching facility schematics—including facility location, type of housing offered (long‑term vs. temporary), accessibility for physically challenged (elevators vs. walk‑ups), and type of residence (family or single household)—with perspective clients.
Provide projection of pre‑existing apartment/housing conditions that will determine apartment availability received from SS and CSH facilities: conduct facility and apartment unit inspections to confirm facilities analysis on prospective apartment availability utilizing inspection evaluations, contractor repairs completion dates, homelessness factors, and shelter placement mandates.
Calculate the needs of accepted cases and refer them to supportive social service linkages that will assist in new apartment expenditures (furniture allowance, grants, utility connection fees, moving expenses) and calculate housing cost projections for residents based on current cost‑of‑living trends, family needs, public assistance allowances, and guidelines.
