AJE knows how much the census matters to ensure that DC gets its fair share of important resources that support our families.  That is why we are happy to share this important information from The Arc about the census and where you can get help taking the census if you need it.  

Today is an important day. Every 10 years, everyone in the United States is counted through the census. A lot is at stake—the census determines funding for programs like special education, health care, and more. On top of that, the U.S. Census Bureau considers people with disabilities a “hard to count” population. Even with many self-isolating, it is easy to complete the census. It takes just a few minutes to fill out and can be done safely right in the comfort of your home.

When everyone is counted, our communities get their fair share of federal funding to help keep all people safe and healthy. Health care, education, and emergency planning all depend on getting an accurate census count. Help your community by responding to the census today.
