As of April 1, 2020, more than 70 million households across the country have completed the Census yet countless more have yet to do so. This webinar will explore the importance of the Census as it helps determine federal funding allocation local jurisdictions will receive for a variety of resources and services that benefit vulnerable communities.
This includes funding for school programs, public safety and emergency response, health care, and affordable housing. Census-derived data determines a variety of local housing needs. This webinar will delve into the importance of the Census and its implications on affordable housing and homelessness funding at the local level from Section 8 Housing Choice Vouchers, Community Development Block Grants, the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC), and more.
