Don't Forget The Census!

Dear NPW Community:

Now more than ever, it's important that everyone in Westchester gets counted in the 2020 Census. Westchester County provides a wealth of information to help our agencies support a “complete count”. Find it HERE.

Please find COVID-19 related resources on NPW’s website HERE.

Best regards,
Jan

Why is the Census so Important?

Data from the Census will be used for the next ten years for many things - including determining New York State’s representation in Congress as well as local districting. Census data is also used for the distribution of about $880 Billion of federal funds to local municipalities according to a December 2018 report from the George Washington Institute on Policy.

The Census Bureau estimates that every person that is not counted equals a loss of approximately $2,500 per year to local municipalities. This means that every 400 people who are not counted equates to a loss of about $1 Million in funding - each year.

Census Promotional Videos

Westchester County Executive George Latimer kicked off the County’s 2020 Census Campaign to ensure that every Westchester County resident is counted. Included in the County’s efforts to promote the Census is a robust public awareness campaign in both English and in Spanish, which includes a series of public service announcements (PSA’s), each one focused on a different target audience for the Census: RentersDisabled CommunitySeniorsYouthBusiness CommunityYoung Children, and Latino Community (English and Spanish).

The Census Bureau’s YouTube channel features videos on the basics from “What is the Census?” to shorter Public Service Announcements on “How Does the 2020 Census Affect Representation?,” “How Does the 2020 Census Affect Representation?” and “Is My 2020 Census Data Safe?” Visit the Census Bureau’s YouTube channel to access these and more educational resources in video format.
