Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency

I was employed with Sacramento Housing and Redevelopment Agency for a period of 23 years.  I felt I was part of the team as a new employee but also as management.  Job Security was never in question.  If you had the drive to get in there and do the work, advancement followed. The Job Culture was excellent.  Compensation was a bit behind the times but they were working on it. Management changed over the years and the Agency lost some of its original spark.  It was still a good place to work.

Fellow employees were relaxed and dedicated to their jobs. 
My typical day at work was not typical.  I had multiple responsibilities from auditing files and offices to dealing with the Neighborhood Police officer teams.  It was something new each day and never a dull moment. 

The most enjoyable part of my job was dealing with the people.  Being with the Agency for multiple years resulted in relationships that I will remember a lifetime.

Sacramento Housing & Redevelopment Agency was a wonderful place to work. They do amazing work for the residents of Sacramento city & county. I was responsible for the design and implementation of the Resident Development Programs. I oversaw three Resident Training Programs and the Family Self Sufficiency Program. I worked with the residents daily on earning self suffiency and overcoming the obstacles they faced in their daily lives. I enjoyed my co-workers and the overall culture of the agency.

Typical workday at SHRA was me driving into downtown Sacramento and taking the elevator to the top floor of the SHRA Building.

I would talk with my supervisor and we'd go into detail about what my assignment would be. I would either go take pictures of meetings that the executive staff would hold or take video of local communities so I could have b-roll that I would later implement into special videos about a certain subject or event that I would later create a video or PSA for the agency that they could later present to the people or city officials.

Worked as housing technician and resident coordinator  Had the pleasure of helping low income people with housing needs and different resources and the family self sufficiency program. Exceeded goals and had a waiting list for my clients to help them with job placement and other income resources. I enjoyed my job but the upper management was closed minded and unethical when it came to actually helping public housing residents.

Expectations vary and change often, your priorities can change by the whims of management. The workload is often times overwhelming and there is a general consensus that you will never get your head above water and always be drowning in work and deadlines with no support or end in site. High turnover means the people who stick around are always doing multiple staff’s jobs. If you take a vacation be prepared to come back to things being worse than you left them, it’s almost too stressful to take time off. 

Staff and management appear to be under pressure to produce in an environment that is challenging.  Senior management is focused on themselves and seem to lack compassion for young staffers with young children.  If management is challenged in any way by mid level management, those individuals are "targeted."  Not a good environment.  Deceptive work environment...

No training, lacking communication on all levels, poor living conditions for program participants, all about increasing funding, dishonesty, overworked and underpaid, undervalued staff, unrealistic expectations and the list goes on.....

What is the best part of working at the company?
The colleagues I worked with, the professional environment, and friendly people. 

What is the most stressful part about working at the company?
Resistance to Section 3 policies with 3rd party vendors. 

What is the work environment and culture like at the company?
Professional, friendly and diverse.

At SHRA it's like you are a part of a family. Like every job it has its ups and downs but you have great supportive staff members and supervisors there to help you through it. All you have to do is ask. I really enjoyed my position at SHRA and would definitely return if asked to.

The hardest part of this job was down time with not much to do. I enjoyed it most when i had a large amount of letters that needed to be stuffed in an envelope to be mail out. Putting together packets was fun. Photo coping material was also nice to do. I enjoyed my time at this job site.
