The Interfaith Council of Alameda County Joins in to Support the 2020 Census by Helping to Count Immigrants, Seniors and the Unhoused
Sometime in mid-March, households will start receiving information on how to respond to the 2020 Census either online, by phone, or by mail. Why is this important?
1. To make sure Alameda County gets its fair share of funding from the state and from Congress. An undercount would affect local services such as education, health care, transportation, etc.
2. To get appropriate representation in the House and Senate as well as local and statewide offices. An undercount would mean a loss of seats in government
The Interfaith Council of Alameda County is working hard to support the 2020 Census by helping to count populations such as immigrants, seniors, and the unhoused. Enumerator jobs are available at 2020CENSUS.GOV/JOBS or 1-855-JOB-2020.
