You Snooze, You Lose: What Happens When You Ignore Your Census Form
Each year, the United States allocates over $400 billion dollars based on Census data. Will you receive your fair share?
A complete Census count is critical to your community. Census data determines the amount of federal and state funding your neighborhood receives to address social issues, and to determine the location of schools, hospitals and other services, including:
- Medicaid, Medicare, and HIV Emergency Relief
- Head Start and Foster Care
- Education and childcare for low-income children
- Empowerment Zones
- Employment Services
- Nutrition Services (WIC)
