UPDATE 10/14/20: The 2020 Census will now end on October 15th, but the online self-response in NJ will be available until 6 AM on October 16th.
The Alliance Center for Independence is working with the American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) and the US Census Bureau to encourage people with disabilities to fill out the Census.
Have you filled out your 2020 Census? A count of the population of the United States must be conducted every 10 years. Each household must fill out the Census for everyone living there. This includes those with disabilities!
People with disabilities make up 22% of the American public, yet they traditionally have been among the most under-counted populations. Among other things, your response determines how $1.5 trillion in federal funds are allocated every year, including funding for Medicaid, and Section 811 Supportive Housing for Persons with Disabilities.
Did not receive a Census? Go to 2020census.gov or call 844-330-2020.
