Overview
Hiring Immediately – Data Entry Staff Needed!
This is Not a Field or Fundraising Position.
$20/hr Full-time & Part-time
Join our campaign to qualify a Los Angeles ballot initiative. Our current approach towards housing solutions is not working. We need more innovation, bolder action, less red tape and bureaucracy. This measure would fund innovative homelessness prevention solutions and more effective approaches to move people off the streets and into housing, including repurposing vacant buildings, more street team engagement, and mental health and substance use treatment services.
Right now, hundreds of millions of dollars are set to be cut from the budget to address homelessness resulting in a dramatic increase in homeless people on the streets. This new measure will replace the prior sales tax and will help protect and maintain mental health treatment, street team engagement, substance use treatment, and other essential services that would otherwise be cut. Now is the time for our community to come together and ensure we have affordable housing solutions for all.
We’re urgently hiring data entry staff to review petition signatures gathered from Los Angeles voters to put this important initiative on the ballot in 2024! Data staff are paid hourly to work in our office reviewing the signatures collected by petitioners making sure they will count towards the final total needed to put this issue on the ballot next November. Data staff first review petition signatures for completeness and errors and then search voter rolls to make sure each voter was eligible at the time of signing. They evaluate signer eligibility and report back to the campaign how many signatures will count towards the total needed to qualify for the ballot. This is an essential part of making sure this issue is put in front of voters in 2024.
We are hiring immediately, all positions run through March 1st with possibilities for continued work in April. Shifts are 11:30am – 5:30pm weekdays and weekends with the possibility to work part-time or full-time. Additional shift times may be offered over the course of the campaign.
