- Kings County Census Needs Volunteers - The U.S. Constitution mandates a headcount every 10 years of everyone residing in the 50 states, Puerto Rico, and the Island Areas of the United States. This includes people of all ages, races, ethnic groups, citizens, and non citizens. Everyone counts and directly relates to Federal Funding and representation we receive. For every Californian missed during the Census 2020 count, the State is estimated to loose $1,950 per person, per year, for 10 years, in federal program funding. You can help by working on the Complete Count Steering Committee which is a volunteer committee established by Kings County to increase awareness and motivate residents to respond to the 2020 Census. This committee serves as a “census ambassador” group that plays an integral role in assisting the County in making the best effort possible to ensure a complete and accurate count of the community in the 2020 Census. Success of the census depends on community involvement at every level, and Kings County and the U.S. Census Bureau cannot carry this 2020 Census effort out without key stakeholders such as yourself. Join them to participate in a planning meeting on Thursday, May 23, 2019 from 10:00am-12:00p at the Kings County Board of Supervisors Chambers, 1400 W. Lacey Blvd. Hanford, CA. Click here to RSVP.
