Census 2020 Michigan Nonprofits Count Campaign disappointed with U.S. Supreme Court ruling
October 15, 2020
October 15, 2020 - Census 2020 Michigan Nonprofits Count Campaign is disappointed with Tuesday’s ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court which ends the 2020 Census count early. The ruling overturns previous rulings from lower courts that directed the Census Bureau to continue the count until October 31.
Every day matters and an undercount in the 2020 Census would have drastic consequences for the state. Currently, Michigan stands to lose an estimated $150 million annually for the next 10 years. That means losing nearly $1.5 billion through 2030 in federal funding that could support vital programs for local communities.
