The Community Building Initiative (CBI) is a three-year project with focus on resident-based capacity to determine and implement positive change in low income communities. This initiative is currently beginning the second year of implementation of a community plan aimed at reducing crime in the community. This capacity is developed through community-based work on issues of concern to the residents.
OCHR is currently seeking to hire staff to support the engagement and organizing of residents in a neighborhood on the Westside of Anaheim. The position will build from the work completed a planning year and the first year of implementation of the three-year long plan to improve community safety by reducing the incidents of Part II crimes in the neighborhood. The role of the community organizer primarily is to maintain relationships with residents involved with the initiative, create connections with new residents, and work with partners – namely the police department, city staff and school district – to achieve the CBI targets and goals.
