The speakers will explain how the Census count directly impacts Oregon’s federal funding and congressional representation, and how it gives local government an accurate picture of who lives in the community and their needs. They will discuss methods to increase Census turn-out and will share how government is partnering with non-profits to reach out to individuals, such as the homeless, who are typically hardest to count.
