Summary of Request:
Every ten years, the U.S. Census counts every resident in the nation. A complete and accurate count of California’s population is essential to the state because the data collected by the Census determines the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and is also used to distribute billions of dollars in federal funds to local communities. More than 70 federal programs that benefit California, including education, and health and human services, use Census numbers as part of their funding formulas. The California Complete Count (CCC) 2020 is making $26.5 million available to participating California counties to conduct outreach and assistance.
California’s communication and outreach strategy will focus on both geographic areas and demographic populations who are “least likely to respond.” These areas and populations are commonly referred to as “hard-to-count” areas. Counties and cities play a significant role to ensure their populations are aware of the Census and are ready to be counted.
Mendocino County’s Census allocation was $75,000; the proposed amendment will increase the funding to $149,750. The amendment covers costs associated with printing of collateral material in different languages, providing in-language support at Questionnaire Assistance Centers, executing additional census outreach activities, and supporting existing efforts in hardest to count areas. The Mendocino County Health and Human Services Agency has managed the County-Optional Outreach Agreement and is working with the CCC to conduct outreach activities to promote the 2020 Census and target the hard to count regions/populations within Mendocino County.
