Thank you if you filled out the very important form or called to report the people living in your household!

US Census

The 2020 Census asks a few simple questions about you and everyone who was living with you on April 1, 2020. The 2020 Census is happening now.

US Censo

¡El Censo del 2020 sigue en marcha! Usted puede completar su formulario por internet, por teléfono o por correo. Por primera vez, usted puede elegir cómo completar el censo, ya sea por internet, por teléfono o por correo.

Everyone Counts

The Census Bureau has specific operations and processes in place to count everyone, including those in group living situations such as college dorms, nursing homes, military barracks, and prisons.

Impact in Your Community

School lunches. Plans for highways. Support for firefighters and families in need. Census results affect your community every day. The results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities every year for the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community, no matter the size, no matter the location.

Census results help determine how money is allocated for the Head Start program and for grants that support teachers and special education. The list goes on, including programs to support rural areas, to restore wildlife, to prevent child abuse, to prepare for wildfires, and to provide housing assistance for older adults.

Language Support

You can complete the census online or by phone in 13 different languages: English, Spanish, Chinese, Vietnamese, Korean, Russian, Arabic, Tagalog, Polish, French, Haitian Creole, Portuguese, and Japanese.

Rural Housing Supplemental Education Expenses

A great use of Cares Act dollars! This program is Rural Housing’s in response to the COVID-19 pandemic and the requirement for children to adjust their school schedules.

We will be able to pay up to $300 per family with receipts.

Rural Housing can be pretty flexible on what we reimburse for. We have found with our internet program and other connections with schools that parents have paid additional expenses not normally incurred due to the pandemic.

Application for reimbursement of supplement educational expenses due to COVID 19 can be found by clicking on link here:

Supplemental Educational Expenses Reimbursement

Must be at or below 150% of FPL. See 150% Federal Poverty Level Guidelines

Please call if you would like an application mailed to you. Leave your name and address in the voicemail.
