Making Sense of the Census
Julie Menin, Director of NYC
Census 2020 and Jennifer Jones
Austin, Esq., CEO and Executive
Director, FPWA.
The 2020 Census is less than
three weeks away, and NYC has a
lot at stake.
The census determines how
hundreds of billions of dollars in
federal funding are divided among
communities across the country —
but what does that mean for New
York?
Looking past the sheer numbers,
census-related funding supports
important public programs
that so many New Yorkers rely on,
from childcare to youth programs
to workforce development. In total,
there are more than 100 census-related
funding programs that support
our city and our communities.
How Census
2020
will impact
the public
programs
New Yorkers
rely on
And they all rely on a complete
census count to get the funding we
deserve. That’s why a coalition of
faith leaders are organizing to ensure
every community based in
New York City is counted.
Want to help make sure your
community thrives with all these
services and more for the next decade?
Then there’s just one simple,
easy thing you need to do: respond
to the 2020 Census..
“Making Sense of the Census” is
a weekly column from Julie Menin,
Director of NYC Census 2020. Every
week we will be publishing pieces
from Julie, and guest authors laying
out the facts and answering tough
questions about this year’s census.
Starting March 12, you’ll be able to
fill the census out at my2020census.
