The Department of Homeless Services (DHS) is one of the largest organizations of its kind committed to preventing and addressing homelessness in New York City. Collaborating with other public agencies and not-for-profit partners, DHS works to prevent homelessness before it occurs, reduce street homelessness and assist New Yorkers to transition from shelter into appropriate permanent housing. DHS is responsible for management of over 200 facilities, which are mainly individual, and family shelters used as overnight residences for over 38,000 adults and children. DHS's portfolio covers approximately 4M square feet. The Street Homeless Solutions (SHS) Division runs a continuum of programs that help move street homeless clients from the street and into transitional and permanent housing. The programs include Outreach, Safe Haven, Stabilization Beds and Drop-In programs. The program contracts outreach providers in New York City in every borough and within the subway system. The Joint Command Center (JCC), a unit within the division, conducts interagency rapid outreach deployment from a central location using precision mapping, client information, and rapid response to incoming notifications. This initiative partners existing homeless response and prevention programs with a series of new initiatives that have been designed to better identify, engage, and transition homeless New Yorkers to appropriate services and, ultimately, permanent housing. The Department of Homeless Services is recruiting for one (1) City Research Scientist III, who will represent SHS in meetings and interagency communications, present findings from SHS research and evaluation projects, and provide technical and analytic support to other agencies and city offices on research and evaluation methods and on the content and organization of HRA and DHS administrative data.
