BACKGROUND:

The Behavioral Health Division of Health Services Department is requesting to add these two new positions to better coordinate services and provide critical data on the Homeless population of Contra Costa County.

The addition of the Health Services System Analyst I position will be able to analysis and report the collection of data on the homelessness of Contra Costa County. The department believes these two classifications will better fulfill the needs of the Behavioral Health Division’s Homeless Services Program than the current Public Health Program Specialist positions. The Public Health Program Specialists positions have been vacant since June of 2014 in addition two other Public Health Program Specialists have given their notice which will leave two additional Public Health Program Specialist positions vacant.
