Will the Census Bureau provide funds to support local or tribal address lists and map review activities?
The Census Bureau has no funding to reimburse local or tribal governments for money or staff time they spend on address list and map review activities. This was a partnership program. The participating government agrees to review and update these materials. Better maps and a better address list lead to a better census, which will assure that local and tribal governments receive their full allocation of federal funding based on population. Participating governments should contact their Census Bureau regional offices by electronic mail or telephone with any questions. The Census Bureau established a help desk for localities with computer readable files. The Census Bureau has offered regional planning agencies and the State Data Centers the opportunity to assist the Census Bureau in implementing the program.
