COVID-19 & 2020 Census Update

Dear Friends,

As we face this unprecedented public health crisis together, we remain steadfast in our resolve to ensure everyone in our community is counted during the 2020 Census. Emergencies like the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic shine a spotlight on the importance of accurate census data, which determine funding for schools, hospitals, housing, infrastructure and health programs in our communities.

Self-responding to the Census is the easiest way to make sure you are safely counted amid this crisis, as it can be done online, over the phone, or by mail. Making sure you are counted now ensures you do not receive an in-person visit from an enumerator down the line. The Census Bureau is suspending all field operations until April 1, but has extended the self-responding period to August 14

Residents can easily and safely self-respond to the census online at https://my2020census.gov or over the phone in English by dialing 844-330-2020 or Spanish at 844-468-2020. Households do not need an ID code to respond to the Census online or by phone.

Sincerely,

Vicente Gonzalez
Member of Congress
