We are excited to report that as COVID-19 shut down Malden’s 2020 Census Committee’s aggressive campaign plans in mid-March, we recently regrouped and are pleased to report that Malden’s response rates have jumped due to these efforts! From Marcia Marques, Partnership Specialist of the New York Regional Census Center: “Just to let you know that your efforts since the reactivation of the Malden Complete Count Committee has paid off. The City of Malden’s response rate jumped 2.3% since last week, the largest increase in Massachusetts. Your work was praised by my management. Congratulations! Thank you again for your support, your partnership is really appreciated!”
Census completion will determine resources for our community and families. Everyone who lives in Malden needs to be counted. For every person missed our community loses $2,400 in federal funding each year. It’s safe, easy, and confidential – information gathered cannot be used against you. Filling out the census means better schools, roads, transportation, housing, health care, and public safety.
