The manager don't know how to manage.  There is a lot of work and not enough people. Salary is low for the work  that is being done.  Management sit in their office all day and laugh with each other while the monitors are out in the field doing the real work. The monitoring and compliance departments have too many supervisors that don't know how to do their job and all they do is kiss the program and fiscal manager butts all day. LAHSA  really needs to look into why there is a high turn over and fix that problem.  This is the worst job I have ever had. The building is in horrible condition.  I would never  recommend anyone to work here. I thought that if I give it a    year it would get better. I been working in the Monitoring and compliance department for almost two years and nothing has gotten better. I and looking to leave ASAP!!!!

Assist in establishing, implementing and maintaining internal controls and accounting policies and procedures of LAHSA.  Work with homeless services funders and subrecipients to ensure compliance with contract terms, policies and procedures and provide any necessary technical assistance.  Communicate information and ideas clearly, as well as concisely, both written and oral.  Observe and evaluate the outcome of a problem solution to identify lessons learned or redirect efforts.  Read, interpret and apply laws, rules, regulations, policies and/or procedures.   Evaluate information against a set of standards.  Think logically in analyzing and solving problems.  Perform mathematical tasks rapidly and accurately.   Demonstrate attention to detail.  Manage time appropriately.   Work with a wide range of constituents in symbiotic manner.   Maintain appropriate confidentiality with regards to individual client information, as well as agency information.

During my employment with LAHSA, since 2005 I have served as an Administrative Financial Manager, playing an active role in the development of the company. I have a comprehensive understanding of governmental and grant accounting as well as in-depth knowledge of managing, controlling grants budget, and the reporting requirements. I have implemented and managed changes in our unit that has led to increased efficiency in our workflow. I also have the technical knowledge necessary to utilize all of the financial systems that are available to LAHSA and I am efficient at delegating duties when necessary. I also have a great experience in adjusting the procedures and expanding the department and implementing new advanced systems and technologies to meet the organization goals, needs and expansion.

You can move around easily once you're in. Not necessarily promotion based, you have to apply for positions. There's know set growth structure. Pay and benefits are not great. Organization is in a constant state of flux, which can sometimes affect productivity. But if you can remain flexible you can last. It's a great group of knowledgeable individuals that are passionate about the cause they serve. Sometimes it can be tough because you feel like the work is constantly left undone, and other times you feel amazed when you see a project completed and individuals houses and of the street. 

What is the best part of working at the company?
Flexible working times and hybrid work 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Not run like a good business. No SOP's, no clear communication from upper management and unwillingness, to make changes to modernize and streamline processes.

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Depends on the department. Some departments are well run. Well managed and joyful others feel like a sweatshop.

What is a typical day like for you at the company?
Do a lot of maintenance advise troubleshoot and when on a project. Lots of meetings.

Very interesting line of work. Work with individuals with different personalities, which always makes it an interesting day. The work can be very rewarding and the pay is not too bad. You will see a lot more disappointing results than good, which mostly are out the employees hands, mostly due to political climate. There is a lot of nepotism in management and clique culture. The drama between employees can be very exhausting and could affect the work with participants. 

The hardest part for me working here is that management seems be out of touch with reality. Blames high turnover to the low unemployment rates, requests data to fit their narrative, and work get shoved onto teams when they don't have the resources to finish them on time.

One good side is that if you keep your head down and don't make noise, you will have a job for a long time. Also, any skills you wish to learn may be implemented if you show initiative.

Politics are extremely sensitive.  Monitoring of programs are too fluid.  Millions wasted and agency having a difficult time monitoring or following through with compliance.

Working as a Document Specialist was a great learning experience. The role helped me develop strong attention to detail, data accuracy, and organizational skills. The work environment was fast-paced, requiring effective communication and the ability to manage multiple tasks. I gained valuable experience in quality assurance, documentation review, and maintaining compliance with program standards.
