The Census begins on April 1, 2020. When each person in every household is counted, California will get its fair share of federal funding for schools, health care, unemployment insurance, housing, transportation, and more.
Completing the Census matters because it highly influences how much federal funding California programs receive for these kinds of programs and more:
- Local Schools
