Making Connections News

Despite roadblocks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Census count is continuing. Michelle Elison, Portfolio Manager at the National Partnership Program of the US Census Bureau, provides an update on response rates in Kentucky and the Census Bureau plans for the next phase of data collection. She also reminds us of how important getting a complete count is for our political representation and securing funding for vital community services like health care, education, and emergency response. Although most households have been contacted, eastern Kentucky response rates are low. However you can still get counted at 2020census.gov or by calling 844-330-2020.
