The U.S. Constitution requires a national census once every 10 years for the purpose of reapportioning the U.S. House of Representatives. Every person living in the United States must be counted — both citizens and noncitizens. Census forms will be delivered or mailed to households in March 2010. The 2010 Census form asks 10 questions and takes about 10 minutes to complete. Responses to the census form should include everyone living at that address. Complete and return your 2010 Census form and encourage others — family, friends and neighbors to do the same.
By law, the U.S. Census Bureau cannot share an individual’s personal information with anyone, including other federal agencies and law enforcement entities.
Every year, the federal government distributes more than $400 billion to state, local and tribal governments based on census data. Faith-based organizations and institutions use census data to apply for federal, state, and local grants.
For more information on how faith-based organizations can partner with the U.S. Census Bureau go to http://www.2010census.gov/ or contact Sherman.k.kilimanjaro@census.gov
