SFIC Online Briefing for Faith Leaders: Impact of COVID-19 on 2020 Census

Already saddled with cybersecurity risks, hiring challenges and wavering public trust, the 2020 Census must now contend with a growing public health crisis. The uncertain timeline of the coronavirus outbreaks, however, could further complicate the constitutionally mandated headcount of every U.S. resident.  Major disruptions could derail the Census Bureau from gathering accurate numbers used to determine how many congressional seats and Electoral College votes each state gets for the next 10 years. The data also guides the redrawing of voting districts and the distribution of as much as $1.5 trillion a year in federal funding for healthcare, schools, roads and other public services to local communities. This week's "Online Briefing for Faith Leaders," hosted by the San Francisco Interfaith Council and supported by our COVID Command Center's Joint Information Center Virtual Outreach Team will address the impact of COVID-19 on the 2020 Census.
