June 23, 2020 – Shape your future and be counted in the 2020 Census.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities every year for the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community, no matter the size, no matter the location.
For example, the census results affect planning and funding for healthcare, including programs such as Medicaid, Medicare Part B, State Children’s Health Insurance, and the prevention and treatment of substance abuse. Also, census results affect planning and funding for education, including programs such as Head Start, Pell Grants, school lunches, rural education, adult education, and grants for preschool special education.
