Important Easy and Safe

简易安全，息息相关

We enthusiastically announce that Chinese American Parent Association of Howard County is awarded a $50,000 grant by the Maryland Department of Planning. CAPA will partner with the Howard County Complete Count Committee, diverse community organizations, foreign born groups to educate the public importance of Census 2020 to ensure a reliable and inclusive census count and increase the self-response rate among all people in the county.

The United States is required to perform a national count of all people living in each state every ten years (U.S. Constitution, Article 1, Section 2).

The 2020 census impacts Maryland in several important ways. The census:

  • Determines representation in Congress and impacts local legislative districts;

  • Is the basis for funding critical programs and services; and

  • Assists local decision-making for economic development, school construction and transportation projects, as well as public health, public safety and emergency planning.

Every Marylander Counts!

April 1 is Census Day, a key reference date for the 2020 Census. When completing the census, you will include everyone living in your home on April 1, 2020.
