The results of the 2020 Census will determine how money and power is allocated across the country, making it imperative that the count be as accurate as possible. For over a year, efforts have been undertaken across the Bay Area to ensure that everyone is represented, particularly the hard-to-count (such as those experiencing homelessness or for whom English can be a barrier).

Learn about what’s being done and how those processes are evolving in light of COVID-19.
