Data Analyst for the Division of Housing Opportunity
for section headings (e.g. About the role, Responsibilities, Requirements, Qualifications, Skills, Benefits, Pay, Schedule). So we can use headings like About the Agency, Your Team, Your Impact, Your Role, Your Responsibilities, Preferred Skills, Minimum Qualifications, Public Service Loan Forgiveness, Residency Requirement, Additional Information. However we need to only include sections when posting has real specific content. All those have content. However we must not repeat job title as heading (the page already shows it). The job title appears earlier: "COMMUNITY COORDINATOR - 56058". So we should not include that as heading. Also we must not put Job ID/requisition numbers as headings; we can fold minor metadata into short
or drop it. The posting includes "COMMUNITY COORDINATOR - 56058" as title; we drop it. Also we need to remove cookie/navigation/legal/EEO/equal-opportunity/scam-warning boilerplate, duplicated lines, and application instructions. The "Additional Information" includes EEO statement; we need to remove that boilerplate. So we should strip the equal opportunity employer statement. Also remove "Public Service Loan Forgiveness" maybe it's not boilerplate? It's a specific benefit info; we can keep as a section? The rules: include a section ONLY when posting has real, specific content for it — never emit a heading followed by filler/placeholder text. Public Service Loan Forgiveness has specific content (link). So we can keep. Residency Requirement also specific. Additional Information includes EEO boilerplate; we should remove that. If after removal there's nothing left, we should not include the section. The Additional Information currently is just the EEO statement. So we drop that section entirely. We also need to use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits, and
for prose. So for responsibilities we need to convert each bullet into
- . The responsibilities are a long paragraph with many sentences separated by periods; but they are not bullet list originally. However we can treat each sentence as a list item? The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. The responsibilities section is a list of duties; we should format as
- each duty. We need to parse the responsibilities text into separate items. The responsibilities paragraph: "Maintain tracking systems and databases used to monitor HPS projects, units, assignments, referrals, placements, and other program activities. Generate, analyze, and distribute internal and external reports regarding unit targets, workload, production, placements, and other key performance metrics. Develop and maintain performance metrics and reporting tools used by HPS and DHO leadership to monitor program and operational performance. Analyze data to identify trends, patterns, discrepancies, and opportunities for process improvement. Respond to data and reporting requests from HPS and DHO leadership and staff. Provide data, reporting, and analytical support to other teams within DHO as needed. Assist with divisional data projects, reporting initiatives, special analyses, and other data-related assignments. Ensure data integrity and accuracy across Access, Excel, SharePoint, and other reporting and tracking systems. Perform routine database and reporting system maintenance to ensure alignment with changes in business processes and program requirements. Work with staff to identify, troubleshoot, and resolve data quality and reporting issues. Collaborate with staff to identify and correct data entry errors and discrepancies. Support the project intake process by entering new projects and related information into HPS systems and tracking platforms. Serve as a liaison with managing agents during the project intake and onboarding process. Coordinate with managing agents and internal staff to monitor project readiness and ensure required inspections and other prerequisites are completed before units are made available for lease-up and assignment to the HPS team. Monitor project and unit information to ensure that data is complete, accurate, and current throughout the intake and placement process. Coordinate and share information with the Department of Social Services (DSS) and HPD program areas to support accurate and timely referrals and placements. Assist with the management of a portfolio of homeless set-aside and/or 421-a homeless units, including providing referrals and tracking placements, as necessary. Develop and maintain documentation, procedures, and other resources supporting consistent data management, reporting, and program operations. Complete special projects, analyses, and reports requested by the Assistant Commissioner, Director, Deputy Director, Team Leaders, and other DHO leadership. Collaborate with internal and external stakeholders to resolve data, reporting, project intake, and operational issues. Provide cross-functional support to the HPS Unit and DHO as needed. Perform other related duties as assigned to support the goals and priorities of HPS and DHO." We can split by periods that end a sentence. Each sentence becomes
- . Ensure we keep the content. Similarly for Preferred Skills: it's a paragraph with sentences separated by periods. We'll convert each sentence to
- .
Minimum Qualifications: It's a paragraph with options separated by semicolons and "or". Might be better to keep as
because it's not a list? But it's a list of qualifications. The instruction: Use
- for any list of duties/requirements/benefits. Minimum Qualifications is a list of requirements; we can format as
- . We'll split by ";" or "or". Let's parse: "A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college and two years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties described above; or High school graduation or equivalent and six years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties as described above; or Education and/or experience which is equivalent to "1" or "2" above. However, all candidates must have at least one year of experience as described in "1" above."
We can make each bullet:
- A baccalaureate degree from an accredited college and two years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties described above;
- High school graduation or equivalent and six years of experience in community work or community centered activities in an area related to the duties as described above;
- Education and/or experience which is equivalent to "1" or "2" above.
- However, all candidates must have at least one year of experience as described in "1" above.
But the "or" indicates alternatives; still list.
We'll keep as
- .
Public Service Loan Forgiveness: It's a short paragraph with a link; we can keep as
. Residency Requirement: paragraph;
. We also have sections: About The Agency, Your Team, Your Impact, Your Role. Those are prose; we can use
. We must not include headings for sections that are just boilerplate; we removed Additional Information. Now produce HTML fragment: start with
About The Agency
then... content
. ThenYour Team
etc. We need to preserve ALL substantive information; do not invent or summarize away detail. So we must copy the text exactly as given (except we removed EEO boilerplate). Ensure we don't lose any content. Let's extract each section's text. About The Agency: "The Department of Housing Preservation and Development (HPD) oversees housing standards across all 3.7 million homes in New York City. As the nation’s largest municipal housing agency, HPD is responsible for building and preserving affordable housing, protecting tenants from harassment and displacement, and holding landlords accountable across the five boroughs. Under Commissioner Dina Levy and the Mamdani Administration, HPD is pursuing an ambitious housing agenda focused on the needs of New York’s tenants. With a broad set of tools including standards enforcement, tenant resources, and the creation of new affordable housing, HPD is committed to making New York City a more affordable place for renters and homeowners alike." We keep that. Your Team: "The Office of Housing Access and Stability (HAS) consists of the divisions of Housing Opportunities & Program Services, Tenant and Owner Resources, Housing Stability, Budget and Program Operations, and Program Policy and Innovation. Our mission of the office is to ensure fair, efficient, and transparent access to affordable housing. HAS provides subsidies, placement services, and tools that connect New Yorkers to affordable housing and ensures vulnerable households in subsidized housing have the support they need to be safely housed. Housing Access is committed to expanding housing choices, affirmatively furthering fair housing, and stabilizing the financial health of buildings. The Division of Housing Opportunity & Program Services ensures that HPD’s affordable housing is made available through fair, transparent, and accessible programming. Developers creating affordable housing are required to offer many types of units through an open lottery process on NYC Housing Connect and fill other units through a placement process for households in the City’s shelter system. Housing Opportunity & Program Services administers the housing lottery and homeless placements programs and crafts policy and procedures to ensure that these programs offer equal opportunity to all applicants and affirmatively further fair housing."
