<p class="s60"><span class="s59"><span class="bumpedFont15">Shape Your Future. Start Here.</span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s53"><span class="bumpedFont20">What is the 2020 Census?</span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s43"><span class="bumpedFont20">Every 10 years, as required by the Constitution, the federal government counts everyone who lives in the United States. This count includes the collection of basic information, such as age, sex, and race, about every person living in each household.</span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s53"><span class="bumpedFont20">When will the 2020 Census start?</span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s43"><span class="bumpedFont20">The U.S. Census Bureau will begin sending 2020 Census packets to households in March 2020.</span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s53"><span class="bumpedFont20">The value of the census </span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s43"><span class="bumpedFont20">Our responses to the 2020 Census are vital for shaping the future for ourselves, our families, and our communities, including the people our faith tells us we should help the most. Data collected in the census are used to:</span></span></p>

<div class="s14"><span class="s61">● </span><span class="s43"><span class="bumpedFont20">Provide a picture of our nation that is used to help determine where to build new schools, hospitals, and businesses.</span></span></div>
<div class="s14"></div>
<div class="s14"><span class="s61">● </span><span class="s43"><span class="bumpedFont20">Inform the allocation of more than $675 billion in federal funding to states and communities each year for programs that support education, housing, health care, transportation, food needs, and more.</span></span></div>
<div class="s14"></div>
<div class="s14"><span class="s61">● </span><span class="s43"><span class="bumpedFont20">Monitor, enforce, and evaluate civil rights laws, regulations, and policies designed to prevent discrimination and ensure voting rights.</span></span></div>
<p class="s9"><span class="s53"><span class="bumpedFont20">How can I respond to the census?</span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s43"><span class="bumpedFont20">In 2020, for the first time ever, the Census Bureau will accept responses online and by phone, but you can still respond by mail if you prefer. You can respond as soon as you receive your 2020 Census packet. Be sure to count everyone who is living in your household.</span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s53"><span class="bumpedFont20">Can the information I provide for the census be used against me?</span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s43"><span class="bumpedFont20">No, it cannot. The Census Bureau is very strict about protecting the privacy and confidentiality of every individual and household. This protection is required by law, with severe consequences for violations. The Census Bureau is not allowed to share information about individuals or specific households, and your information cannot be used against you by any government agency or court—not by the police department, DHS, ICE, FBI, or CIA. </span></span></p>
<p class="s9"><span class="s53"><span class="bumpedFont20">Recruiting Temporary Workers for the 2020 Census</span></span></p>
