Stand Up and Be Counted

The 2010 Census is right around the corner, and BFHP is involved in an effort with Congresswoman Barbara Lee to increase community awareness.

 

Sherrol Gray, Transitional Services Manager, is taking the lead in this endeavor. Ensuring that the underserved population is counted, Sherrol plans on having census booths at the Men’s Overnight Shelter, North County Women’s Center and the Multi-Service Center to assist individuals who may not receive or complete their census forms.

She assures people that the Census Bureau must maintain confidentiality about what individuals report on their census forms. She also wants to send the message that completing census information benefits the community. For more information on the 2010 Census, go to www.2010census.gov.

The U.S. Census Bureau is recruiting temporary, part-time census takers for the 2010 Census. Visit this link to learn more: http://2010.census.gov/2010censusjobs/.
