New York State releases Request for Expression of Interest

Of the $20 million made available through the FY 2020 Budget, $15 million is being distributed to all 62 counties as well as the cities of Buffalo, Rochester, Syracuse, and Yonkers. Deadline for the Request for Expressions of Interest (REI) is December 13. Each locality with a REI will then submit a plan outlining how they will use the funds. Letter to Localities Here .

The $15 million is distributed to local governments based on a formula that builds on the Rockefeller Institute of Government's At-Risk Community Index , a data-based measure of undercount risk, while accounting for differences in population density and its impact on outreach logistics. The funding allocations to counties and cities is available here .

The remaining $5 million will be deployed over the coming year to target specific communities where further outreach will be necessary as 2020 Census questionnaire filing results become available.

Community-based organizations encouraged to connect with local Census Complete Count Committees, county governments &/or city leadership to get involved in the local plan for Census outreach and education.
