SFIC Encourages Congregations/Religious Organizations
to Become 2020 Census Help Centers
What are Census Help Centers?
Census Help Centers are spaces, donated by community partners, where staff from the Local Census Office or the partner organization are available to answer questions about completing the questionnaire, provide special language assistance and answer general questions.
What Faith Leaders Can Do to Host Census Help Centers?
- Ensure adequate internet access, with either computers or iPADs in order to allow for online response.
- Ensure staff is properly equipped with FAQs, available resources, and language translation guides.
- Coordinate with San Francisco Public Libraries about partnering and pooling resources to achieve maximum reach.
- Plan outreach in conjunction with other faith groups in nearby communities that are planning large community events.
The
SF Counts website includes a map tool, dropbox of
SF Counts outreach materials in multiple languages, and other helpful information.
