Over the next decade, lawmakers, business owners, and many others will use 2020 Census data to make critical decisions. The results will show where communities need new schools, new clinics, new roads, and more services for families, older adults, and children.
The results will also inform how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding are allocated to more than 100 programs, including Medicaid, Head Start, block grants for community mental health services, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, also known as SNAP.
Haskell Indian Nations University donated prizes (too many to mention) and time for the event! The Heart of America Indian Center, a multi-cultural organization in Kansas City, Mo. donated a $20 gift card towards the event and don’t think I don’t appreciate it.
