\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The Brooklyn neighborhoods of Brighton Beach and Coney Island are home to diverse communities of recent immigrants hailing from countries including Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and several Central American countries (hard to count communities).<\/p>\n

To make sure these communities get\u00a0 proper share of\u00a0 resources and representation,\u00a0 APNA has jumped into projects to meet the needs of local residents , especially those who are low-income, older, and\/or have limited English proficiency.<\/p>\n

It is spreading message that census are confidential and no personal information is shared. These information are only used in gathering statistics. Thus, when one is not counted in census no funding , political power which leads to unfair\u00a0 taxes and weak\u00a0 represenation.<\/p>\n

In March 2020, every household\u00a0 will receive\u00a0 mail from US census Bureau\u00a0 with instructions.\u00a0 And for the first time, people will able to complete\u00a0 census form online.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Constitution mandates that a census be taken every 10 years to count all people\u2014both citizens and noncitizens\u2014living in the United States. <\/a><\/p>\n

Responding to the census is mandatory because getting a complete and accurate count of the population is critically important.<\/p>\n

An accurate count of the population serves as the basis for fair political representation and plays a vital role in many areas of public life.<\/p>\n
