THE CENSUS MATTERS MORE THAN EVER
SPREAD THE WORD:
Detroit Needs YOU!
In 2010, Detroit missed out on millions of dollars in federal funding because many didn’t fill out the Census. Let’s make sure that doesn’t happen again!
If you don’t complete it, our city will lose money that could go to:
Hospitals | Child Care | Meals for Children and Families | Police & Fire
TAkE 10 MINUTES to complete the Census and protect essential funding for your family and your community for the NEXT 10 YEARS
- EASY - Only 9 Questions
- CONFIDENTIAL - By Federal Law, Census information is not shared with ANYONE for 72 years
- COUNT WHERE YOU STAY – The address on your license does not matter. The Census counts where you eat and sleep
WHERE TO FILL IT OUT:
BE COUNTED AS A DETROITER!
