Census 2020 is still underway, and participation by all residents is crucial to secure funding for community resources like hospitals, schools, disaster relief, roads, and more. If you haven’t already responded online, by phone, or by mail, you may receive a visit to your home by a census taker. Census takers will be wearing a government photo ID badge and personal protective gear due to COVID-19. They’ll ask a few questions about your household to make sure you’re counted in the census, but they will never ask your social security number, bank information, or citizenship status. All of your information is confidential, and it cannot be shared with law enforcement and immigration or effect your government benefits.
Due to the pandemic, participation in the census has been low, and the deadline to complete it has been moved to September 30, 2020. You matter, and your response matters because it will ensure our area receives its fair share of funding for important services. If you’ve already responded to the census, make sure your family, friends, and neighbors have responded too!
