The Census is Happening in 2020
The next Census is in Spring 2020. Let’s ensure all Californians are counted so we can put those resources to good use here at home!
- BUILD BETTER ROADS AND SCHOOLS
- FUND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS FOR SENIORS, CHILDREN AND FAMILIES
- CREATE JOBS
- IMPROVE HOUSING
Starting in mid-March 2020, each household will get a letter in the mail. It will explain the different ways you can fill out the Census. If you don’t receive a letter, you can still go online or call to fill it out. Be sure you include any person living in your household, family or not.
