Making Boston count in the 2020 census is the goal of Boston Mayor Martin Walsh who along with non-profit leaders and community members launched a year-long outreach campaign to have a fair and complete count in the 2020 US Census.
In order to do so, the City will invest an additional $100,000 in the FY 2020 budget to support Boston’s outreach efforts by providing grants to community-based organizations and additional support from City departments.
The Mayor has appointed a census liaison within his administration and is kicking off his campaign a year in advance in order to make sure every Boston resident is counted.
The census should affect many things from representation in Congress, Federal funds for schools, affordable housing, infrastructure and health care programs.
Making Boston residents aware of the 2020 census, is important in preparing them to participate is the main thrust of this endeavor, according to City Hall representatives.
This year’s census faces unprecedented challenges that could widely impact the City.
The Mayor is encouraging a collaborative effort to make sure all Bostonians participate in the 2020 Census by being counted.
