Census 2020As COVID-19 has made clear, funding for public health services is absolutely critical. Your participation in Census 2020 will help ensure that your community receives the money it needs for healthcare centers, hospitals, and emergency services, as well as public transportation and schools. Please complete the Census and help us secure the resources and political representation our communities need to remain resilient. Census 2020 can be easily completed in the privacy of your home, either online or by phone. All responses are 100% confidential, meaning that the U.S. Census Bureau cannot share your personal information with anyone, not even immigration, police, landlords, or employers.
