Job Description
The Office of Research and Policy Innovation (ORPI) brings together four units that provide critical policy-related information to agency leadership. ORPI also supports a broad network of homeless services providers, as the official NYC government partner for federal Housing and Urban Development (HUD) grants. Housed within ORPI, Federal Homeless Policy and Reporting (FHPR) directs the NYC Continuum of Care (CoC). The CoC is the NYC planning body that develops long-term strategic plans and manages year-round planning efforts to address housing and service needs of persons experiencing homelessness in NYC. FHPR also serves as the Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) lead. The HMIS team conducts data-analytic work and produces all federally mandated HMIS reports for NYC. The HMIS team manages the $2 million HMIS grant from HUD and oversees vendor contracts necessary to meet grant outcomes. HMIS staff are the agency lead content experts on HMIS and HUD technical requirements. The HMIS team is also responsible for the annual Housing Inventory Count and Point-In-Time (HIC PIT) as required by HUD.
CRS III serve under supervision of the HMIS Director. The CRS III will work with CoC-funded and other homeless housing projects to improve data quality and program performance in HMIS and support reporting to HUD. The CRS III will also coordinate with not-for-profit service providers, CoC community stakeholders, homelessness researchers, other city agency staff, and persons with lived experience of homelessness with the goal of successfully implementing CoC goals and projects. The CRS III will be the project manager for select reports and will direct HMIS training and communication efforts as it relates to reporting requirements. The position entails considerable latitude for independent judgment and initiative and requires strong analytic skills, excellent written and verbal communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and as part of a team, managing multiple projects and deadlines.
