LA Family Housing reviews

CEO is a power hungry authoritarian. Chief Programs Officer doesn't follow LAHSA guidance and makes questionable decisions. Lots of ethical concerns. LAFH takes funders money and does what they want with the money and creates positions out of no where. The departmental structures are awful as well. Departments are not program based but task-based. Ineffective communication across departments that are VERY dependent (too dependent) on each other to house participants. Participants constantly fall through the cracks. Monthly all staff meetings are useless at best, degrading/humiliating at worst. LAFH has a conservative culture compared to other homeless services agencies, probably due to it being in the Valley.

HR dept is incompetent. Never seen so much enabling of bad behavior due to fear of “lawsuits”. Staff is allowed to sleep, call out multiple times and disrespect participants and HR says well they aren’t doing it enough we need “more proof. CEO should focus efforts on the unsupported management who has to deal with the lack of support from HR. They have mandatory boot camps and discuss how managers should be consistent but yet HR sweeps inconsistent behavior under the rug. Sure this isn’t informed to CEO, she prob has no clue.
