Due to the continued suspension, cancellations and postponements of most gatherings as a result of federal, state and local guidelines, any and all trainings, deadlines, jobs and events listed in this Provider Bulletin should be specifically verified with the hosting organization or agency.

Some back and forth between the federal judicial and executive branches has brought confusion on when the deadline to fill out the 2020 Census is, but residents will have at least another week to complete it, until Oct. 5. A federal judge had reinstated the original Oct. 31 date to till out the census, but the Census Bureau then announced that the "target date" to stop receiving census submissions was next week. Don't wait any longer, fill it out now!

As providers, you are in a unique position to help direct families on filling out the census and informing them that it's safe, easy and important. Reach out to them this week and let them know it's their last chance. Remember, the individuals you serve are often those who will most benefit from an accurate census count.

Visit my2020census.gov to fill out the census.
