April 1st is Census Day! And now in the midst of a global pandemic, it is more important than ever to make sure that everyone is counted in our community!
As we shelter in place, it has never been easier to complete the census.
The Census only happens once every ten years and it will shape the future of Shoreline. More than $675 Billion dollars of federal funds will be distributed to local communities based on the Census numbers, funding vital programs and sustaining healthy growth.
Even more, our Census numbers affect our congressional representation, determining the power of our vote. From school lunches and better transportation to support for firefighters and families in need, Census results affect our community every day — and in times of crisis, we realize how important this is!
