District H Response Rate Continues to Slow
The response rate of District H residents filling out the Census is far too low! The number of people who are counted, is directly connected to how much federal money our communities will receive. The more residents that are counted in a household, the more Federal money will be sent for things like school lunches, Head Start or Special Education programs, public transportation, infrastructure projects, healthcare, housing assistance and city services. Everyone counts! That includes babies, senior citizens, everyone . . . documented or not!
If you haven't submitted your Census response yet, please visit this website.
