When it comes to investments in our nation’s children, Census data are used for distributing more than $400 billion in federal funding each year, including Medicaid and Child Care Development Block Grant funds. In the 2010 Decennial Census, however, children, specifically young children, had the highest net undercount of any age group. And as a result, these children, and the communities in which they live, do not get their fair share of federal funds.
Please join the Children’s Leadership Council for webinar on March 7 from 3:00 P.M. – 4:00 P.M. to learn about: the 2010 census undercount of young children, the importance of preventing it during the 2020 Census, and resources and activities to help raise awareness of this issue.
