In the last decade, New Haven lost $30 million simply due to the Census undercount in 2000, and this year the New Haven community has been working hard to make sure that this under-count does not happen again.  Specifically, each person who isn't counted in New Haven costs the City around $10,000 in funding for services people desperately need.  Certain populations in New Haven such as undocumented immigrants, homeless people, and low income people who don't trust the government are hard to count, and we rely on many New Haven non-profits to reach out to those populations.  Youll have the opportunity to go out to various non-profits around the New Haven community throughout the afternoon to distribute Census goods and make sure that each non-profit is equipped to pass on Census information to the populations they help serve.
