Summary

The Assistant Staff Analyst, Health (ASA) will serve as the administrative program manager for ODR's Contingency Management (CM) Program, an evidence-based initiative designed to reduce stimulant use among justice-involved individuals participating in one of the Office of Diversion and Reentry's (ODR) diversion programs. The Office of Diversion and Reentry (ODR), within the Los Angeles County Department of Health Services (DHS), develops and implements programs to divert people with serious mental, physical, and / or behavioral health needs away from the LA County Jail and into community-based care.

The CM Program leverages positive reinforcement to promote engagement in treatment and healthy behaviors. Rooted in harm reduction principles, the program incentivizes incremental progress through a structured rewards system. This approach has demonstrated success in decreasing overdose risk, enhancing housing stability, and reducing recidivism for justice-involved participants.

The ASA is responsible for administratively overseeing daily operations and ensuring effective program implementation of the Contingency Management Program, which will be operated in partnership with a contracted community-based organization (CBO). The ASA will conduct regular field visits to housing sites to support data collection, conduct program analysis, and contribute to program reporting and evaluation efforts. Additionally, the ASA will be responsible for actively monitoring the project and providing technical assistance, training, and support to the contracted CBO.

Currently, ODR has a hybrid work schedule with a combination of workdays in the office, in the field, and remote. This may change at discretion of DHS.
