Unhinged CEO, Ineffective Departmental Structure, Ethical Concerns

Line staff

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

1) 9/80 schedule. Work 9 hours days and get every other Friday off. 2) LAFH pays slightly more than other homeless services agencies.

Cons

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.

Business Outlook

Pros

Some of the staff are excellent.

Cons

So many. My experience was that this was not a person-centered environment for participants. I found it not to be in concert with my ethics. Unprofessional management that doesn't listen to front-line staff. Leadership has been with the organization for years and there is little in the way of humility and the willingness to learn from others.
