About the Ventura County Counts Census 2020 Initiative
Our Mission:
To protect federal funding and Congressional representation in Ventura County by encouraging all to participate in the 2020 Census.
Our Specific Goals Include:
- Working in concert with diverse stakeholders and government agencies from various sectors to ensure a full, fair, and accurate count Countywide.
- Avoiding duplication of outreach efforts and maximize limited resources.
- Developing a Countywide education and outreach plan for hard-to-count (HTC) communities.
- Collaboratively building a budget needed for this outreach and working in tandem with neighboring Counties’ efforts.
- Strengthening local nonprofit organizations internal capacity and external influence through grantmaking and collaborations.
- Creating a regional and local funder table to ensure funders are organized and strategically aligned so we can strategically maximize funding for our County.
- Building a robust and meaningful network with diverse leaders from all corners of our community
