About IHSSPA:
Founded in 1995, the San Francisco IHSS Public Authority (IHSSPA) provides and promotes a service delivery model of consumer-directed in-home support that maximizes the potential of older adults and people with disabilities to live independently and participate in their communities as they choose. Although a legal entity separate from the City and County, IHSSPA is a quasi-governmental public agency established by a San Francisco Ordinance, which tracks the California Welfare and Institutions Code. IHSSPA created and operates a registry of screened workers for IHSSPA consumers; arranges training and support services for both IHSSPA consumers and workers; serves as an employer of record for IHSSPA independent providers (IP’s), allowing worker organization and union representation; provides formal opportunities for consumer leadership in program and policy development through majority representation on the IHSSPA Governing Body/Board, and participates in the overall improvement of personal assistance services (to persons of all income levels in carrying out activities they could perform were it not for their disabilities).
While the core of IHSSPA’s mission will remain unchanged going forward – providing services that allow for self-direction by consumers of the support services they require to live independently – how this mission is funded and how services are configured and organized, is likely to evolve. The Executive Director will need to be part strategist, part operations manager, and part advocate for capacity building and funding to accomplish larger goals.
